I got a reply back from one of the moderators saying it would be removed from the List. I can go search through my old email, if needed. The FAQ is alive and well, but it's not called the Counted Cross Stitch FAQ anymore--it's grown into 10 distinct Needlework FAQs, and is still posted monthly (but only to rec.crafts.textiles.needlework.) Its growth is the reason I chose to stop posting to news.answers. The FAQs change so rapidly, that having to wait for news.answers approval every time I wanted to change a title, or split off a new FAQ was very difficult. When one makes a major change every 2 months, waiting 2 or 3 months for approval just doesn't work. If things ever stablize, I'll reapply for posting approval.
