> Sure, why not.  This one's easy.  Can anyone say "Read the FAQ"? ;-)

On the DJGPP list, the person who wrote the FAQ (Eli) happens to be
very active in the group.  Everyone else *knows* that if the answer is
in the FAQ, Eli will post the section number, so we all know to wait
for him to do it.  Having one person on the Cygwin list whose job it
is to post "Please see FAQ section 4.6" for questions answered in the
FAQ might make everyone else's job easier, and the mailing list less
confusing.

Or, perhaps, someone should write a script that does this...
