Better, have it post a pointer to the FAQ, so we don't get a multi-meg file in the mail once a week. <G> Also, the following should be in:

Has anyone considered running a script from cron to post a weekly FAQ to the linux-kernel list? Remember the "broken flock() emulation" thing and the ever popular "how do I get off this mailing list?" These are just two examples of many. It could include pointers on list ettiquette and perhaps a list of "must have" files.
This seems like a really easy thing to do and maintain. It would be invaluable to the many dedicated lurkers and newbies. It would hopefully cut down on some of the noise. I value my developers' lack of stress. I hate to see David Miller have to deal with this kind of stuff:

I will volunteer to maintain this if necessary, if it is concluded that this has some merit and if no one else wants the job. I'm just a lowly sysadmin though, perhaps not very qualified for the content.
