Alan, As you know, I have included your Q&A FAQs (in the sense of a set of specific frequently-asked questions and their answers) in the FAQ (in the sense of a listing of material and sources) which I update each month for the s.e.e.c (sci.engr.electrical.compliance) newsgroup. I have been for many months sending a short announcement of the monthly update to EMC-PSTC (and also, for that matter, to TREG), which seems to have met with general approval, or at least nobody has ever expressed disapproval. What I have not done, nor would I think appropriate, is to mail the lengthy FAQ itself to the mailing list. I think the point of mailing lists like EMC-PSTC is that they are for questions and discussions on specific topics as they arise, not for posting of general material, however valuable. Short pointers to the availability (elsewhere) of such material is useful, or at least not objectionable. Occasionally there might be a specific announcement from someone in the know of a new piece of information, but I would have thought regular mailings of quasi-tutorial material not appropriate. The alternative, of course, is to start your own mailing list for dissemination of whatever material you choose, in which case I am sure participants in EMC-PSTC would not object to an announcement of your mailing list so they can subscribe if they choose. Hope you (and other readers) won't mind a slightly different query, Alan, which is whether you wish your Q&A FAQs to continue to appear in the s.e.e.c FAQ, and if so whether you can provide updates. (The s.e.e.c FAQ is available at http://world.std.com/~techbook/compliance_faq.html) Regards to all, Bill. -- Bill Lyons - b...@lyons.demon.co.uk / w.ly...@ieee.org (maintainer of the s.e.e.c FAQ)
