While we are defining things:  FAQ = Frequently Asked Questions.
Not usually a feature on a LIST, unless someone makes a special effort.
It is generally the job of a NEWSGROUP maintainer to build a FAQ list,
and archive it somewhere that people can read it easily.  Also, it is
frequently reposted to the NEWSGROUP because articles posted to
NEWSGROUPs have "expiration dates" - they are not maintained in
the active part of the NEWSGROUP for very long (typically a week or two).
NEWSGROUPs often have archives associated with them, which is
where you could find old messages, as well as FAQs, etc.
