A series of FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions). Some topics crop up on a regular basis - to avoid them being discussed repeatedly, a series of web pages is in the process of being compiled for subscribers use. Progress on these can be found on this page - see left for the links.
However, the existence of these FAQs does in no way preclude the newsgroup returning to discuss a previously aired topic - especially if someone has a fresh slant to put.
