I was initially annoyed by Eli's frequent read the FAQ replies, but soon 
changed my mind. After asking some of my own questions and receiving the 
read the FAQ replies, I think Eli's posts are very helpful. In a few 
instances, I have read the FAQ, asked the question, and then be referred 
back to a section in the FAQ that while it doesn't explicitly answer my 
question contains enough info about how things work that I can come up with 
my own answer. 

The fact that Eli takes this much time to answer so many questions is 
admirable - a better man than I.
