Yes--and given the role Dr. Vulis has played in this matter it would be most appropriate for him to write an FAQ (although I personally ignore most FAQs).

Perhaps it would be more appropriate for the good doctor to write a FUQs.

Why not do it like the Declaration of Independence? A primary author puts the basic document together, and other persons with expertise in other important areas add to it, then it gets circulated on the list for comments and suggestions.

"Other areas" not normally addressed in these kinds of documents should include subscribers' awareness that the crypto lists are a prime target of attention from federal agencies, et al, and that much of the material posted could be pure disinformation.

I do not think that any Federal Agency would be interested in any group so undisciplined as cypherpunks.
