On Gwen's organizational comments--I apologize to everyone if this is
answered later down my email stack--I have a ferocious sinus headache and
I'm not sure how long I care to sit up and stare at the computer.

A point on the FAQ organization....there are any number of valid ways to
organize the essay. The current organization works pretty well; others would
too. But don't forget, this is a *cyber-document.* Like the net itself, it
is not necessarily required to be linear; that's what the internal links are
for. With the internal linking, it is extremely user-friendly, and reading
it from start to finish is simply one option, not necessarily even the norm.

So I say launch away, and if substantive user comments come in suggesting a
different organization, or our own use of it suggests it, then deal with it
later. There does come a point to cry "done" and swing that champagne
bottle.

Just my opinion--based on long-ago classes on the differences between
writing for paper and writing for the web, and how the audience for each
format has different expectations and methods of access.
