I have a personal file of FAQ for one of my Donkey lists. When someone asks
a "Golden Oldie" I tend to send out one of my favorites privately. In time
we will get organized and put it out on a website.

<snip>, when questions in a particular group started to
get redundant and a bit of a pain the members would compose a list of
Frequently Asked Questions along with the answers. In some instances
the FAQ became a substantial repository of collective knowledge, took on
a life of its own. The FAQ was posted in a prominent location and the
Clueless Newbies exhorted to consult it before posting a query.

The subject matter here is rather broad, but if, as Mr. Rombough
observes, the questions are becoming redundant, then perhaps a FAQ is in
order. Especially if the archives are difficult to search. If someone
is going to go to the trouble of gleaning the archives for publication
in Pomona, may as well publish it on the Web as well.

My humble $0.02 on the subject. Hope this helps.
