I dont mind doing reviews and the idea of a FAQ review
is a good one but trying to "push me" will not work.
I think the idea would have been shot down if I suggested posting
three or more FAQs to here every week.
Why not post (a different) one a month to lost of .pm lists?
Once a month is tolerable. Three a week when perlfaq is a command
on almost every server I have access to is ... words fail me.
Almost everyone is being wildly tolerant of this idea. I'm not fond of it
myself, though. Not when could be done in a separate list for those who
would like to see perlfaqs in their mailbox. Social discussion lists
shouldn't have automated posting directed to them.
Would it be more 'interesting'/tolarable if a random monthly 'faqbite'
was posted. I'd be inclined to read a single answer out of curiosity,
I'd simply ignore the whole thing.
