The obvious place to look for it is in alt.answers, the newsgroup
dedicated to FAQ:s. However, it hasn't been there for many years, if
ever. Several times, even long before I morphed into Sevenhundred Elves,
we have discussed not only what should be in it, but also where it might
be most convenient to keep the alt.yoga FAQ. Some think it should be
kept in alt.answers, others are against that because newcomers wouldn't
know to look there, some thought it should be posted here regularly. I
seem to recall that's what sandra [NAMASTE2] took upon herself to do for
some time, but I may be mistaken. Finally Hari found a place to put a
web based FAQ.
I finally managed to locate that FAQ, but it is no longer just a FAQ,
it's more like a complete exposé of all things yogic. It can be found at
http://altyoga.de.vu/
and it's very well done.

Surely, it will have _some_ effect. If a person is shown a document
where the current practices of a group is outlined, he'd have to be at
least a little bit rude to go against it.

Maybe it just takes that the URL of the FAQ is made available to the
beginners from time to time, and then they will find many answers
themselves. I'll post Hari's FAQ location on alt.answers now. It's very
well done. (Yes, I know I already said that, but I'm very impressed.)

Oh. Yes, that seems to be the same as that on http://altyoga.de.vu/
I'll use this address, because it has altyoga in it.

Answering that would counteract part of the morphing's purpose, which
was twofold, A: just to make a point in a discussion about names and
sockpuppets, and B: to have some anonymity.
