Windows Vista30
perhap microsoft could make a FAQ column or "stickys" for questions that get

asked a lot like-



mouse icon disapears

or

nero errors etc



because a lot of newbys questions have already been solved.



and yes you can do a search but people dont, they ask again!

Why?

- a separate FAQ Site about each newsgroup section somewhere on the

online-newsgroups-website? Your sure anybody would read this?

- Newsgroups have a specific protocol, therefore "stickies" , like in

MS forums, are not possible or only possible with some special MS

extension for the newsgroups protocol (like this vote button for

example), no other Newsreader than Windows Live Mail Desktop will ever

display this "stickys".

Yes, very true. (I use Thunderbird as reader nowadays.)

One cannot expect the net at large to switch Windows Live Mail.



Possible solution:

On some newgroups admin of the FAQ has a script that simply post every

day a link to the site that contains a FAQ, with FAQ in the subject. (eg

comp.lang.javascript).

If I am new to a NG I always search for such a subject/posting.

9 out of 10 beginnerquestions are covered by a good FAQ. ;-)
