Hi Skipjack and Les: I think that you're both half right! Les is correct that the FAQ questions and answers should be basic and simple, and you are right that we should have extensive coverage of all topics. At the moment, I am gathering ALL questions, regardless of merit. We will decide later on which ones to keep, discard or reword. Our biggest challenge will be to do justice to these questions with good understandable answers.
