A couple of questions

I'm getting down to work on my FAQ's and have run into a couple of
questions:

(1) I'm having trouble learning how to work the post summaries. Do the
numbers in the summaries refer to the Yahoo Message numbers as catalogued in
the HP4GU archive group? Also: I don't suppose anyone happened to coalesce
all of the summaries onto a single page ... ? I'm trying to use a P 100, and
it takes about three minutes to open the Word files in IE. <sigh>

(2) There seem to be several different ways of documenting one's FAQ. Penny
has lovely footnotes that conform to everything I can remember forgetting in
my Chicago Manual. Other people have integrated references into their texts.
Yet other people have used footnotes but added hyperlinks to principle
egroups discussions. Should I be emulating any one of these styles or just
doing whatever I feel like?

(3) One of my Tasks is to compare the Potters with Voldemort. I'm a tad
confused. Whom am I comparing to Voldy: Harry alone or each member of the
Potter nuclear family? (I suppose I could also distinguish between Tom
Riddle, Lord Voldermort and Rosemary's Babymort and compare each one to a
different Potter ... and get it published by that Schafer woman ... )

(4) I can't seem to find the page listing the weekly character summaries.
I've found Michelle's Pettigrew summary, but I can't locate Neville. Anyone
have a rembral (sp?) handy?

I can *guarantee* having my FAQ's ready to upload in four weeks. Depending
on my ... err ... day job, I may have them ready sooner. If it's important
to have *one* of them up sooner, I'll be glad to oblige.

Baaaaaa!
