I really don't understand what made you so angry.  Perhaps you haven't
read the message I was replying to, and didn't understand what I was
telling.

Paul suggested to write a program that would allow to query the FAQ,
and I agreed it's a good idea.

Then somebody else asked why is such a program necessary, since we
have `grep'.  I replied that I didn't know why `grep' isn't enough,
since I can find the info in the FAQ without any trouble, but if
people (like Paul) tell me that `grep' is not enough, I have no
reason to doubt what they say.

Is anything wrong with that?  If so, please tell me what it is, so I 
could try to avoid saying that in the future.
