Forum FAQ
Just thinking about a Forum FAQ Sticky.
What does everyone think of a Sticky, where everyone can add to it.
The guidelines are very short posts, listing what the post is about, of a Link to someone like:
and
If any post is too long, we have a Moderator shorten the post down to a couple of lines and if someone posts outside the guidelines, it is deleted by a Moderator.
I think it would be helpful as long as we keep it short and easy to read, so it can be used as a quick reference.

Richard, I like the idea. I have noticed that over time, questions are often repeated, problems often re-occur. It would be a handy reference for people to browse through before posting on the forum - and it would probably save bandwith as well as time...
