- I post (or rather my crontab does) an article *every Monday* with the
- following subject line:
-
- Subject: META-FAQ: Linux sources of information
-
- I don't know whether I should change the subject to something more
- easily visible, perhaps
-
- FAQ FAQ FAQ FAQ FAQ FAQ FAQ FAQ FAQ FAQ FAQ FAQ FAQ FAQ
-
- would be better? (Should I go for fancy graphics, sounds, colors, and
- animation while I'm at it?)
-
- Or perhaps I should post it every day, or hour, or as an answer to
- every query? Or perhaps mail to everybody who ever has access to
- Usenet, Internet, or any gatewayed net? Heck, I'll just print out a
- few copies and snailmail those to everybody on this and the
- surrounding planets.

- Unfortunately, I am beginning to feel that there will always be
- clueless or less than wizardly people around who will ask both where
- the FAQ is and questions directly from it. I've even seen (though not
- on comp.os.linux) somebody ask a question from a FAQ as a followup to
- the said FAQ.
