I wasn't being critical - Like you I have not read either of the FAQ's.

Unlike you though I didn't say that they were a good thing based on an
assumption of what was in them. What I did say/ask was why the original
poster considered whatever was held within them/it to be the key to not
pissing 'the majority off'? I see no reason to assume that whatever Greg
(or indeed Ken) has placed within these files is advice that the
majority would agree with. In Greg's case I went further and suggested
that his general attitude led me to suspect what he has placed in the
FAQ is in line with his views and not with the those of the majority.
Like you I am not yet sufficiently interested to find out.
