A very good question, and I will edit the FAQ to answer it more
explicitly along the following lines:

Surnames are best registered on the Internet in two fora:
the soc.genealogy.surnames newsgroup
<news:soc.genealogy.surnames>
<http://http.bsd.uchicago.edu/~t-pierce/surname.intro.shtml>;
and the Roots Surname List
<http://www.smartlink.net/~leverich/family.readme.html>;.
Surname registrations should _not_ be made to soc.genealogy.german,
which is a forum for discussion, queries, and advice.
