Hello,

The best information we have about how to get your FAQ approved for
posting on news.answers is the *.answers submission guidelines posting
that isposted once a month to *.answers.  An easy way to get a copy of
this file is to send a mail message to mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu with the
command

send usenet/news.answers/news-answers/guidelines

on a line by itself in the body of the message.  Or, you could ftp to
rtfm.mit.edu and get /pub/usenet/news.answers/news-answers/guidelines.
After you have read this document, you can simply submit your FAQ to us
by sending it to news-answers-request@mit.edu, or you can send it to the
auto faq checker at news-answers-submit@mit.edu.  For more information
about the auto faq checker, sent mail to news-answers-submit@mit.edu
with the word "help" in the Subject.  Other than that, I can't give much
more help unless you ask us specific questions pertaining to your FAQ,
which you can feel free to do at any time.
