Hi:

<<<I sent an email offlist to Penny yesterday recommending that an
egroups listserv be set up for this, with a closed membership, so the
list doesn't get random questions from people who've searched Egroups
for HP lists. I don't know if she wants to go in that area, but costwise,
it's free & usewise, it's easy!>>>

Sorry, Heidi, I don't seem to have received that email. Also -- not sure
what you mean exactly. An Egroups list for the FAQs? I'm probably just
being dense -- sorry.

I wonder how the pending merger between Egroups & Yahoo will affect
us. I got an email from Egroups on that topic last night, but I haven't
had time to digest it.

As for the "topics to be covered" in our FAQs, Simon does make a good
suggestion that perhaps it's easier for each person combing through a
group of messages to just list out the important threads, questions from
that group. It does mean more work at the "committee stage," but might
be less confusing overall. I have 12 volunteers (including me & Melanie)
so far. I could still stand some more if anyone else is interested &
has the time.

I'm also taking volunteers for the smaller committee that will actually
create the FAQs. <g>
