The relevant parts of the FAQ get posted anyway as answers to the people 
who ask these questions.  That's why I usually post the replies to the 
list/newsgroup instead of merely answering by private mail.  What's the 
point in invading every DJGPPer's privacy with a 180K-long file when 
what the newbies are after can be told in a relatively short post with
short FAQ sections quoted directly and pointers into the FAQ's more 
longish sections?
