This point intrigued me, writing a FAQ not out of a deep attachment for
the topic, but for 1> the joy of writing an informative document or 2>
the desire for net.fame or 3> as a stepping stone to other greatness.
How many people maintain FAQs on subjects they were not previously well
versed on? To me, wanting to write a FAQ, but not knowing what to write it
on seems backwards - I started the Chocolate FAQ because I like
chocolate, and found there was no FAQ. Maybe this type of thing *is*
common, for people who are writers for example maintaining more than one
FAQ might look good on a resume. Anyone else have thoughts on this?
