FAQs

The acronym FAQ stands for Frequently Asked Questions and online, generally refers to reference files for specific newsgroups, mailing lists, or relating to specialized subjects.

Familiarizing yourself with an FAQ for a particular forum or on a particular subject can be useful in providing a basis of information for you to spring from. You may find a question asked that you were considering posting, or one similar to it and find your question already answered. This saves time for both yourself and those who would have to take the time to answer questions that have been answered seemingly millions of times before (they ain't called Frequently Asked Questions for nothing).

If you have any questions that arise from the information found in an FAQ, then it should be taken to the group that it arose from.
