- Yes, there is a need for an FAQ. Many Q's are FA nowadays ;-)

- It was last updated in December last year. Its nearly August. The
- information needs checked and revised. Anyway, it reflected the interests
- of the person who used to post it, and no-one wants to risk wrath by
- posting or editing the old FAQ. Last person to post it got flamed.

- The ruffling looks like permanent. And reposting would just rub salt into
- the wound.
-
-
- How about we make a new FAQ, by consensus?
-
- If anyone archives the group, it would be interesting to see which
- questions have been asked, say, 3+ times in the past 6 months or so.
-
- Then once we have a workable set of questions, people could post
- answers/collect the answers that were posted, according to interest and
- expertise. We could kick the answers around, discuss them a bit on the net,
- then collect the lot into a file and stick it on some freindly FTP site and
- ina cron job somewhere.
-
- Well?
