The Nordic FAQ is already in our database, but has a different
maintainer.  Are you the new maintainer?  If so, you should keep the
names of the subjects and archive names the same, or let us know if you
want to change them.  The old Subjct and Archive-names were (for part
1):

Subject: soc.culture.nordic FAQ, part 1/8 (Introduction to the group)
Archive-name: nordic-faq/introduction

Your lines were:

Subject: The Nordic FAQ - INTRODUCTION
Archive-name: nordic-faq/part1_INTRODUCTION

Let me suggest that you keep the Archive-name line the same.  You may
change the Subject line, but you have to indicate which part the file is
and how many parts there are total, like in the old subject.  Also, the
other FAQ had 8 parts, so you should let us know if you're only going to
post the seven parts you sent.  Also, your posting frequency should be
lowered.  News posts expire after a period of time, so you need to
repost before they expire.  I have included copies of both your headers
and the old ones, and I suggest that you try to conform to the old ones
as much as possible.  I am also sending mail out to the old maintainer
to make sure he's not posting any more.  Please respond and let us know
what you're doing.
