Daniel,

We could easily add FAQ pages on any topic to the Files section if someone
would be so kind to write them up.

I agree with you about searching the archive for information. It is
commonly recommended to newcomers that they search the archive before asking
an often repeated question. Unfortunately, if you type "scanners" into the
"Search Archive" box you get back a huge number of posts that are not of
much help.

We need to find a balance where new people with questions can ask and a
simple way to direct them to a source of good info. Either a FAQ sheet on
this list or some other site. In the end though I really hate to discourage
people who are trying to learn from asking. One solution is to offer them
answers off list.
