Would it make sense to trim the faqs a bit? There's a lot of
information in there, and people might be hesitant to dive into them.
Of course, they *should* look at the faq, as there's a lot of good
stuff in there, but then again, people should read the docs too.

Also, if you subscribe via the web interface, there's a link to view
the faq, even before you subscribe. However, there are currently no
faqs for the lists. This is a pretty visible place where people have
the opportunity to read the faq, and often they're joining the list
because they have a question. Perhaps we could head them off a few
questions there?
