Erm.. that would be me, at least at the time I started writing the FAQ ;-). I
tried a few times, but haven't been successful at all. This is mostly
thankless work, and it does get tiresome after a bit. All you get for your
efforts is more newbies asking basic questions using private mail ;-).
I'll try again though as soon as I get other things done (Yea, I know I keep
saying it, but I am slowly moving through my todo list.)
