You miss the point of making the FAQ.
You should add the above kind info to the FAQ too; you should write
to FAQ:
  somebody thinks "This wasn't denied in the film, so it must be true."
And later when people comment that line, you should add the comments.

If the file is too big for speculations, you propably need help
in compilation.
Note that most articles in the Net are speculations.
Thus they should be in FAQ.

I'm interested in to help you.
I request that you mail me the e-mail submits you got to the FAQ.
I will check them too.

I also hope that if people, who did sumbit material but never get
it to FAQ, could mail the material directly to me (just in case
I don't get it from the FAQ maintainer).
I also hope that I get note from people who are willing to check the
plain raw material too, and make decisions how to put something
to FAQ.

The material I compile will be then to put to the BR FAQ by Chapman
(we don't want multiple FAQs, eh?).

You're not in the best position, because the question in making FAQ
is not what you think about the "Deckard is replicant?!", but instead
the question is will you put the all opinions to the FAQ.

Note that by choosing material to the FAQ, you just apply your
opinion.
To be neutral person on this, you should add everything to the FAQ
and then wait comments from the readers how to write further.
You are supposed to be just compiling all submitted material;
I'm sure those people who submitted and expected to get their view
to the FAQ, though the same.

I will put the FAQ to nic.funet.fi:pub/culture/tv+film/BladeRunner
directory.
But when the article is posted in news.answers, it will be archived to
various places.

Good.
