I've changed my mind.  It seems to me now that it might make a lot more
sense just to compile a list of the most-often asked questions and then
solicit volunteers to write something about each one.  That way I won't
get duplicates.

Plus, its a neater way to start a discussion on this newsgroup.

So send mail, post, whatever -- what are the most commonly asked
qeustions by newusers on this group?  (the ones that really drive you
nuts because youknow 10,000 people are going to post about it, its so
obvious....)
