I think that it would be a good idea to go back and see what the expression 
FAQ means.

Klingon has been discussed in this group before, and a mention -- perhaps a 
pointer to the tlHingan mailing list -- might not be out of place in the 
FAQ, if one is not already there...

Vulcan, Rihannsu and Ferengi have _not_ to my knowledge been addressed 
here. Since questions have not been asked about them, they hardly qualify 
for the "frequently asked questions" rubric.

I have heard a rumor that, after _The Romulan Way_ appeared, Roddenberry 
specifically disavowed Dianne Duane's Rihannsu. Any truth to that?
