Why do you want people to read the FAQ when they are unable to read a
subscription form or the Handbook section about mailing lists?
Since 1995, it must be the 1st time we have a such thing.  So I don't
see the need to add something for 1-2 persons and especially something
quite useless since FreeBSD mailing lists are archived and/or available
in many places not controlled by the FreeBSD project.
