I think it is a useful addition to the clpb mFAQ as it is becoming a
FAQ. Expect to see it next week in clpb. [1]

Indeed and will do so, again it will be next week.

I haven't asked. I would suggest that for Delphi then it is really not
appropriate. I will ask the question in a few relevant newsgroups if I
cannot find a current FAQ about posting the Mini-FAQ. I do though have
to be concerned about reaching BI=20 and have them cancelled.

Possibly relevant is that the clpb Meta-FAQ [about posting guidelines]
has had a number of positive emailed comments since it has been posted
to clpb. I will post to a number of relevant groups that do not have 
one to see if the group is interested in having a copy with someone in
that group doing the posting with relevant mailto: and newsgroup name
information changed to reflect appropriately.

[1] Sorry, dealing with 20 x 64Mb files for web use is rather tying up
my time to consider an update of the mFAQs for tomorrow.
