Archives and FAQ's are good, very good. and true, it's best to attempt ones
research there first. However, there is the collective history, knowledge and
wisdom of the list that hangs about out there like a living entity of it's own,
and access to it and response from it is usually specific and certainly faster
than the speed of light......thus many may use it as opposed to the FAQ's and
Archives.
