I vote Site Ettiquette and/or How To, rather than FAQ.
I thought it was all the same thing.

Good one, Dana. I might add, "....not that we have anything against robots."
Covering our asses? I like it.

Well, we already have robots. No, wait, those are remote-controlled zombies. I guess that's different.
And the RIOBOT occasionally makes an appearance.
I think that what's there should be rewritten

Ta ever so, the 'ffistas.
amych's is slightly more practical, I must admit.
But lacking in robots.
Unless we send HTML e-mails (I'm against that, FTR) there will be no t a tags. Which means any URLs will be spelled out, and may need ot be on their own lines to prevent being broken.
I think it's a great idea to link to stuff in the confirm email. I also think no one will read it. We should link to it above the confirm password part, at least.
But lacking in robots.
Does no one think of the robots?? t sob
