Oh, get real. When I wrote the WordPerfect for Linux FAQ (using an
existing LDP LinuxDoc work as a model, to learn the technique) and then
submitted it for inclusion in LDP, wild horses couldn't have prevented
me from doing that. LDP's attempts to steer the process such as the
Author Guide and sundry others are just attempts to help new people
learn from old mistakes and assist them.

LDP is hosted at ibiblio, who seem disinclined to run a wiki engine just
for the benefit of one project. One of the main LDP volunteers just got
through explaining that. Where were you?

For heaven's sake, read the headers of your _own posted message_. It
very clearly tells you how to subscribe.
Or at least have the common decency to send your "Help, I'm hapless and
can't figure out how to unsubscribe" to the listadmin address, rather
than bothering hundreds of fellow subscribers pointlessly.
