I don't know how automated your FAQ-posting is; might it be appropriate
to select some other groups and post each week to c.l.p.b, cross-posting
to each of the other groups in turn?  But, although I though there were
some, I cannot now find any non-localised Pascal groups outside c.l.p*
and borland.*, but there's a couple of Delphis in alt.*; in fact,
alt.comp.lang.borland-delphi is a working group here, in spite of what
the mFAQ says.

Perhaps it's better, though, just to give those Delphi groups suitable
Sigs from time to time.
