1.2 I have a question not answered here. Should I post?

If you think your question is relevant to alt.backrubs (see question 1.1 for a description of what alt.backrubs is about) and is not answered in any of the six parts of this frequently asked questions list then your question may have already have been answered and placed in the archive. The archive contains over 3 Megabytes of postings along with some indexes. Many of the answers in this document have been adapted from postings in the archive; it usually provides more detailed answers to those questions. Many questions that are answered in the archive do not appear here. You'll have to decide for yourself if the archive has the answer to your question but you will usually benefit by exploring it.

If you're not sure where to look for an answer to your question then check out the lists of related network resources in section 5. There is information there about what newsgroups to read, to post to, as well as what essays and lists are available electronically to help answer your health and body related questions. Question 5.2.6 is the most general.

If you do ask a question by posting please remember to request that replies be sent to you by mail so that you can summarize them for the rest of us. Be sure to say something like `please reply by mail, I'll post as summary,' or it is likely that someone will think that you want replies by mail only because you are too lazy to read the group -- I kid you not. When it comes time to post your summary take some time to actually summarize the mail you received. It isn't necessary to specify who gave each answer or to quote them exactly. Do not concatenate all the messages into one posting! By taking the time to make a proper summary you are helping all the present and future readers of alt.backrubs. That group includes the people who took time to write to you. Much more advice about how to best work with the Usenet community can be found in question 1.4.

The archive is the subject of question 5.1.2 (in section 5). A complete list of all the questions in this FAQL appears in section 0 (entitled Administrivia and Acknowledgements).
