     So do I, but I have found most FAQs to be useless unless I already know much of the material. If one is just starting in an area, being told to read the FAQ can be very discouraging. Typically, FAQs are full of jargon, and you have a long read to determine if what you want to know about is even in the FAQ. Even if it is, it might not be written in language that one understands.
