I would like to second that sugestion..You might not only have web
sites. After all, There are at least two organizations that sell a
complete set of FAQ files on CD ROM in the USA, and I beleve at least one
in Europe.
Any FAQ that is posted is likely to be around for a very long time. If
the information id likely to be changing, (medical , legal, income
tax...) A disclamer or careful wording in those sections where teh
content is likely to change over time would not be out of line.
