1. This FAQ
- 1.1 What is the purpose of this document?
The sole purpose of this document is to help alleviate some of the Frequently Asked Questions (hence the name) from Newf-L. To people that have been on the list for a very long time, seeing the same questions over and over becomes tiresome. By checking this document before posting a question, you not only stand a good chance of getting an immediate answer to your query, but you will also prevent yourself from being flamed for posting a question that's been posted 1000 times before.
As of 4-19-98, the Newf-L list-server reported: Total number of subscribers: 1172. By checking this FAQ before posting a question, you will save quite a few people from receiving yet another E-Mail about a subject they are tired of reading about.
Your first impression to 1000+ people should be a favorable one. By reading this FAQ before posting a question, you stand a better chance of not irritating people on the list with your first query.
