"Did this ever get answered?  I've lost track I'm afraid......  I think it's a *great* idea.  Is someone designated to do this?"


Neil again: 


I'll do it (I don't think we've discussed it before).  Well, I can hardly suggest something and then say 'so who *else* is going to do this?'!  Can we throw up suggestions for inclusion now and then?  Apart from the list I posted, I can't think of any others, but there must be some.


I think it also makes sense from the POV that most of the FAQs are rather more than just Q&As.  Should we, perhaps, think of another way to describe the FAQs we've been doing so that anything we call an FAQ *is* just a Q&A?  I know Penny has suggested something like "comprehensive, substantive FAQs" but how about "Discussion Digests", "Topical Digests", "Subject Profiles"... something along those lines.  


None of those sounds right though.... How about "Analaysis/Digests of Frequently Asked Questions (AFAQs or DFAQs)"? 

Penny said: 


"I'm sure others will occur to us though.  Hey, how about "Who will Hermione date: Harry or Ron?"  <dissolves into hysterical laughter>" 


<also laughing> Yes, that'll really deflect the discussion!  Oh, that reminds me of another VFAQ:  "How do you pronounce Hermione?"  This brings back fond memories of me posting something on digraph letters and inflections.  Talk about over-analysis!
