Would it make sense to trim the faqs a bit? There's a lot of 
information in there, and people might be hesitant to dive into them. 
Of course, they *should* look at the faq, as there's a lot of good 
stuff in there, but then again, people should read the docs too.

Also, if you subscribe via the web interface, there's a link to view 
the faq, even before you subscribe. However, there are currently no 
faqs for the lists. This is a pretty visible place where people have 
the opportunity to read the faq, and often they're joining the list 
because they have a question. Perhaps we could head them off a few 
questions there?
