Re: To follow responders -- building an FAQ

I certainly think there's scope for something like this: default passwords and case sensitivity crop up on a tediously regular basis.

Trouble with FAQs, however is... if they can't be persuaded to read the manuals, why should we expect them to be able to consult the FAQ?!

Worth a go. I'd contribute.
