Rec.arts.anime Frequently Asked Questions Lists

FAQ:    Frequently Asked Question.  A question which is frequently asked
    by new (or casual) users of a newsgroup.  In order to increase the
    Signal-to-Noise ratio, some newsgroups have a person in charge of
    posting a monthly list of FAQs and the correct answers.  The Anime
    FAQL consists of four postings (hopefully) covering most things
    new rec.arts.anime users look for:
    1) An introduction to the newsgroup and its slang.
    2) Answers to common questions.
    3) Anime Resources, both electronic and commercial.
    4) Recommendations for good anime.

    This list is posted here the first week of every month and is
    also available via ftp from the Rutgers Anime ftp site on
    remus.rutgers.edu in pub/anime/faq/anime
