Uhhhh.... FAQs are Frequently Asked Questions intended to reduce the noise
levels and to provide information. One benefit is that the FAQs on this
CD-ROM will be purchased by those not so familiar with the Internet.
They read the FAQs and learn before they start flooding newsgroups and
mail addresses with questions we have all seen 1000 times before. If we
as a community are to absorb the masses on an ever increasing scale, it
might be nice if we could assist them in coming to our big/little sandbox
with a little background knowledge...
