- Thank you, thank you, thank you. FAQ should be Frequently
- Answered Questions, not *only* Frequently Asked Questions, and
- that can only happen if it's PFE (TLA: Posted Frequently Enough).
- If you have a problem with someone's question, email them. Flaming
- people for being nasty or obnoxious or rude or unethical (etc.) is
- one thing; flaming for ignorance is another and IMHO inexcusable
- (and bravo to those who have the temerity to ask "stupid"
- quetions; you probably got chewed out a lot as a child by stupid
- impatient "adults"); flaming someone *publicly* for the above is
- not only rude but a waste of bandwidth.
