Rec.arts.manga 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 Manga
	FAQL consists of four postings (hopefully) covering most things
	new rec.arts.manga users look for:
	1) An introduction to the newsgroup and its slang.
	2) Answers to common questions.
	3) Manga Resources, both electronic and commercial.
	4) Recommendations for good manga.

	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/manga/faq
