Yes, the transindividualists seldom read FAQs, they prefer UAQ
(Uniquely Asked Questions). However, after the big quarrel about how
to split soc.posthuman.matrioshkabrain to reduce the traffic overload
(they all post exabyte essay-mindstates all the time) many people are
suggesting dividing the hierarchies too, so the high-bandwidth
posthumans run on Ubernet and the transhumans on Internet III. That
would solve the crossposting problem.
