That way you can't say, "I can't find it" (which is a > fairly common FAQ in itself). :) As the location of the FAQ is a FAQ, the location of the FAQ should be in the FAQ so that newbies can look it up in the FAQ. :) [Teagan (sp?) in Dr Who] "If we had an index file, we could look up 'index file' in the index file" Seriously, IMHO, that's the only FAQ (along with whether one even exists) that has a place in newsgroups/mailing lists.
