Description
This article is from the Dragonlance FAQ, by Stig Erik Sandø stig@ii.uib.no with numerous contributions by others.
1. FAQ questions (alt.fan.dragonlance)
a. ? What is a newsgroup FAQ?
* A newsgroup FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) usually lists common
* questions that appear in the newsgroup and the answers there is
* general consensus for. If people disagree strongly and/or there is
* reasonable doubt about an answer, both answers are usually
* permitted. Usually, a faq also lists the written and unwritten
* "rules" of the newsgroup and any specific traditions newcomers
* should follow or be aware of. Due to the vast number of new users,
* many faqs also include some general information about netiquette
* related to usenet and newsgroups. Some questions may seem odd or
* misleading, but they have all been included for a reason. Any
* questions about the faq itself should go to the moderator.
b. ? Is the information in the FAQ correct?
* The FAQ does not try to be 100% correct in all areas, and leaves
* room for discussion. In general, most of the information in the FAQ
* is correct, or at least "correct" in the newsgroup. (The general
* consensus in the newsgroup may set aside TSR literature's answers in
* favour of other answers).
c. ? How often is the FAQ updated?
* Pretty often. When either the maintainer or someone else feels that
* questions should be answered. Please check if parts are missing and
* send them to the above mentioned address.
d. ? How often is the FAQ posted to alt.fan.dragonlance?
* Every other friday when the maintainer remembers it, if he/she forgets it,
* it comes the first day after friday he/she remembers to post it. It
* is posted monthly to alt.answers and news.answers.
e. ? Is the FAQ available on Web?
* Yes, in the Lore section of the Library in Weblanthas.
* <http://rembrandt.uib.no/Dragonlands/Weblanthas/Library/Lore/afdl_faq.shtml>

h. ? Who is the FAQ maintainer?
* Up till this very FAQ-posting Stig Erik Sandø <stig@ii.uib.no>
* has faithfully maintained the FAQ. Stig has been around in the group
* for an awful long time and is probably a dino's dino. Now he has
* finally found a suitable moment to retire and rest on his
* laurels. The new FAQ-maintainer is a bright chap and is a good
* friend of the native americans who nick-named him 'Little River',
* but among the rest of us he is known as Styx.
