    Can't there be something added such as an easy to search for FAQ so 
this topic doesn't come up 2-7 times per month? I know people should use 
a search engine and search for the information first, but people seem 
extremely lazy and always ask current@, hackers@, and questions@, 
amongst other lists I'm sure..
Thanks,
