Mead beer and wine all get cross posted questions ... but
they don't post there FAQ's on the other newsgroups. What
your doing is ADVERTISING YOUR PET PROJECT.
I am in the RCM I don't go trying to increase our posting
in this newsgroup by Spamming RCB or RCW

I agree with Joel, you have a distilling newsgroup, you've
been advertising it here for months, I'd prefer you to stop
now. The subject of distilling RARELY comes up and for
good reasons... most notably illegality for the vast majority
of participants in this N.G. sure, if your in New Zealand or
somewhere you might be leagal... go to the appropriate
newsgroup. Sure occasionally someone asks... and they get
told Illeagle in US, not appropriate for this newsgroup, RCD
exists if they want to research further.

Now if you want to put together a comprehensive meadmaking
FAQ then you can include a link to your moonshine newsgroup
as the answer to the question about distilling mead... just be sure
to include the fact that in the US and many other countries home
distillation of alchoholic spirits is against the law.
