Subject: Creating a FAQ for the forums: a group effort

I'm not sure I completely understand the Q's plan, other than the fact that 
he's offering help. I agree, some delegation seems to be a good idea. If we 
have a few more volunteers (and I'm already raising my hand), maybe Pal would 
consent to assigning topics to people. Volunteers could search the forums for 
the best posts, compile an answer for the FAQ and submit it for Pal's (and/or 
Q's) review.
