I suppose you could set it up so that only new subscribers got the FAQ. Or if you want to be really ambitious/annoying, new subscribers would get the FAQ, then - to activate them on the mailing list - they'd have to take a short web-based quiz on the contents of the FAQ before they are allowed to post.
However, as others have said, the signal-to-noise ratio of this list is pretty high, easiest thing is just to tolerate/ignore the inappropriate questions...
