The problem there is that you get to decide whether it will interest
us or not. So far, not.

I think you're being a bit harsh at this point. Okay, so they didn't
read the FAQ, but if they HAD read it in advance then they haven't
broken its guidelines. It says "if you think it will interest us" and
the poster thought it would. Okay, they were largely wrong, but it was a
mistake. You seem to be taking this to silly extremes. The FAQ can't
realistically demand that people don't post an announcement until they
are absolutely sure that everyone will approve (blanket approval of
something on RASFF? With NO dissention? As if!) and it doesn't; but
that seems to be the demand you're making.

If she'd said she was sorry and would read before posting, I wouldn't
have continued, but she's sure she's right about everything.

That puts her (for me) in the "not worth the bother" category right there.
