Sim FAQ maintainers

There was a call (all be it from a lone voice) for a more "nmformative"
FAQ posting in r.a.s.  I think there is some value in this request.
However, I am not sure it's necessary to re-invent the wheel.

I know there are at least 3-4 good FAQ's out there.  All I am asking is
that if you maintain a FAQ for one of the sims discussed here on a
regular basis, is to find a way to get them posted on a regular basis
here in r.a.s.

I am offering to post them on a regular bi-weekly rotation, or you can
post them yourselves.  I don't believe we need to go through the
"official" ropes of making them official.  However, if they are
maintained at a web site or an ftp site, I will include the URL in the
"official" r.a.s. introduction FAQ.

Oh, I consider this as the reply to my e-mail I sent to you (if you ever
received) ;-)   . Oh I don't consider this as re-inventing the wheel, I just
think that it could make the newsgroup a little bit better (well, it can't
not help).

Oh I'm with you Michael, I can start to search by tomorrow.  I know we could
find at least half a dozen FAQ's.  I bookmarked some websites, since there
is some different versions (for N2 as an idea).  I found a good variety of
FAQ's, from painting to controller FAQ. Just to determinate what is good and
what is not on r.a.s.

Bi-weekly is good (because of the news server stuff you mentioned to me).
The newsgroup isn't that bad to make the FAQ's official ;-)  (maybe some
day).

The website and ftp could be a good idea, but let's focus on the FAQ
research before.  I have PLENTY, yes plenty of ideas for the FAQ's, official
website, etc...  Food for thoughts, but better than all this B.S. about
GPLegends being unrealistic (btw did you see that people ranting never raced
in real life ?). Oh well, hope this discussion will make a little thread. I
just need the O.K. from you.
