The FAQ is never posted to FreeBSD newsgroups.  We get several new
FreeBSD users from other OS's where newsgroups are the primary source
of help.  There is a handful of people who try to answer questions.
My answers usually include pointers to the mailing list archives,
Handbook, and Tutorials.  Perhaps, a cron job could post a text
version of the FAQ once a month (or two) to comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.announce.
