And you have been told repeatedly that the actual real life users on
this actual real life list would like you to stop doing it. We didn't
write that FAQ, I fail to see how it applies and this is not -dev, not
does QA play any role in this.
Now please learn to play by the rules and expectations of the existing
users of a community you have joined newly. If the doc is so important
to you, please update it with an exception for -user and state this is
the general consensus of that list.
Then please learn how to back down and gracefully accept the wishes of
others. You have no special rights here.
