That's what I meant, yes -- all-encompassing in terms of coverage across all
FAQs for all LEGO-related newsgroups and/or mailing lists -- but with each
actual FAQ (as posted after extraction from the master FAQ-base) having a
unique and singular focus, for example Mindstorms or online shopping or
LEGO-related CAD design.

Heh heh, me neither...not in text form, not as a single news article. :)
However, one possible by-product could always be a browseable and searchable
web-interface into a multi-layered über-FAQ. Depending on how you wanted to
view it, you could conceivably extract the whole thing or just a tiny
portion of it.
