For the best I'd say. Keeps the discussion down to a minimum.

Should be at the top of the file list though, so it's the first thing we see. Also, you might want to put a sticky in each section advising newcomers to check there (FAQ) first, so as not to upset anyone.

You're doing an excellent job on this site Kenneth.

Thanks.

Skinner

Interesting concept. I hope the mods will have time to sift through all the inevitable duplicate questions and pick some good ones. I bet Mike Everman is going to be particularly busy with this section :-} .

You've lost me. Why don't you want Larry as a mod? He probably contributed more to this site than just about anybody.

Hope you're joking...

Thanks for moving the FAQ Kenneth. Looks good.

Milisalijevic is poking gentle fun I think, Mr. Skinner. Both Larry and Milisalijevic tend to produce rather lengthy, in-depth, multi-paragraph explorations that require 'extreme scrolling' to view in their entirety and are palpably unsuited to the concise 'sound bite' nature of FAQs. Generally, both post somewhat propositional and inquisitve messages that beg further discussion and philosophical expansion, so having stuff like that in the FAQ would only lead to many more Qs and total newbie confusion, which would lead to an over-abundance of nu-bert requests for clarification, consolidation and re-iteration, which would totally defeat the purpose of the FAQ, which is to give quick answers to relatively simple questions.

Kenneth, I would like to be an FAQ moderator. I visit the site almost daily and I could write short answers to basic questions about pulsejets for those new to the site.

Sorry 'bout that.

Larry's worth his weight in pulsejets, and I can't (couldn't) imagine why anyone wouldn't want him not to moderate.

Must have worded the reply wrong, or I have my sense of humour set to "stunned" tonight or something.
