- Rec.arts.anime Frequently Asked Questions Lists

- FAQ: Frequently Asked Question. A question which is frequently asked
- by new (or casual) users of a newsgroup. In order to increase the
- Signal-to-Noise ratio, some newsgroups have a person in charge of
- posting a monthly list of FAQs and the correct answers. The Anime
- FAQL consists of four postings (hopefully) covering most things
- new rec.arts.anime users look for:
- 1) An introduction to the newsgroup and its slang.
- 2) Answers to common questions.
- 3) Anime Resources, both electronic and commercial.
- 4) Recommendations for good anime.
