Sorry if my post was not clear Rob, it was not about the old editing snag.
I am suggesting making a link to your FAQ on the home page of the Yahoo Nature
Recordists Group here:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/naturerecordists/
Right now, newcomers who do not know that the FAQ exists are still posting
questions that your FAQ already provides answers to. To use the FAQ they need
to be aware of it and how to find it.
Maybe it is me that is missing something obvious here ?
