That is because you are still newcomer in c.l.j. but you are
participating in discussions originated from previous topics without
studying those topics - in hope to grasp everything from a run-time
context. How to update FAQ and how to add new / remove current FAQ was
discussed prior Randy Webb became FAQ maintainer.
Before, during and after.
I insisted on some formal procedure of voting, Randy Webb insisted on
relaxed "by common sense" way - and the latter was chosen.
I didn't insist, I chose it as the best way as the "formal procedure"
you proposed had more flaws than benefits.
I doubt very much that it will ever be some "Chartist movement" for a
particular FAQ with dozens of requests per day "add it! add it!" - so
the choice would become clear obvious.
Precisely the reason I chose the way I do it. Even now, there is almost
a daily new thread on wanted changes. And that is just a result of the
daily postings.
It will be merely the same as with this thread: several similar
questions, a proposal to add a FAQ (Jim Land) then textual and
factual corrections - so 2-5 people in total.
And to date, the question proposed (both of them) has not had a decent
answer provided except the one I gave which is a totally 100% factually
correct answer. If you want the answer you gave, then make the subject
meaningful.
And then FAQ maintainer simply states "not necessary" for
whatever reason - an ambiguous word, one of 2(3) "voters" is remotely
detected as an idiot etc.
I never said "not necessary", I asked where you draw the line on what
you want to explain.
P.S. This is all irrelevant to my appreciation of Randy Webb works
over FAQ maintenance.
Speaking of which, as soon as I have time tonight the intentions are to
create a second profile for FAQEditor along with the email address for
it so that posts coming from that name are coming as the Editor (mostly
announcements of modifications/additions/deletions) and that will leave
this name for me to discuss as a Regular to this group. Trying to do
both from the same name makes it difficult to know which position I am
in when writing and when being read.
For the record: Nothing in this thread, written by me, was written as
the Editor of the FAQ, it was written as a Regular Contributor to this
group.

Whatever I said you said you did not say.
And it only took me three tries to get you to admit that.
In fact you say that I said , briefly hell on $() if you insist so much.
I didn't say that.
I'm finally resting
after two crazy weeks, zipping whiskey, listening ice cubes playing
and willing to answer to nothing but "how to declare global variable
in javascript" and similar.
I doubt you are even qualified to answer a question that simple.
Some later I may remind you my very old question "When and by
what criteria a question should be made a FAQ?" which remained
unanswered so far. Some later.
Sadly, that is true. I have said from the start that as an Editor I
didn't care, it was up to the group. Have you noticed that you haven't
seen more than 4 or 5 people discussing this question? Not very much of
a consensus to change anything :-\

I have been reading the thread (originally titled "$") since its beginning.
The entire reason you have a general failure to grasp concepts is your insistence on
making things up as you go along. Much like what you just said.

Who said (I)Jovi == VK? That was about two persons doing the same
thing against a 3rd party ;-)
I have been reading the thread (originally titled "$") since its beginning.
That is the reason of my light bias left from the last thread. You are
reading what others have to say and then join to the most loud party.
Or maybe I'm mistaken.
The subject was consisting out of two parts:
1) Is "what does $(arg) mean?" asked frequently enough on clj?
2) What is the reason of non-understanding - thus what points should
be clarified if promoted into FAQ.
If you really wanted to help - or argue with me - I would expect a
post like "in 3 months no one asked that, search yourselve" or like
"the main point of misunderstandin g is X, see yourselve posts ID1,
ID2, ID3".
Because Google Usenet search is currently FUBAR, I did not make such
post neither - but at least I remember at least 5-7 recent enough
posts to support my vision of the FAQ necessity and the FAQ content. I
do not imply it is the only one correct vision - but at least it is
not based on how many times this or that person was called idiot in a
single thread.

However, it has a considerable influence on what newcomers, few of
whom
will have started by reading ISO/IEC 16262, are likely to believe.
Therefore, it can legitimately influence the contents of the FAQ.
You are under the impression that newcomers will even know to search
out the FAQ.
Sadly, most will not before their first post.
Precisely the point.
Selective quoting again - have you no morals? You should have quoted at
least "Sadly, most will not before their first post. Happily, most will
be told about the FAQ in the responses to their first post or to one of
their early posts." and probably also "They remain newcomers.".
But remember what WSC is said to have said about Americans.

Yep, the FAQ even says that.

people are among the FAQ target audience.
Absolutely.
At the same time it is expected to see on request a basic knowledge of
clj FAQ history: names of kings, dates and results of main battles,
current trends etc.
Who fed you that load of crap? And what does something that happened in
1996 have to do with anything that happens in 2007? Unless it has to do
