Benjamin, you are completely correct. So...

In an effort to quell the FAQ wars, I would like to take this opportunity to
announce that I have created a third FAQ! It is completely unbiased and I will
be posting it to the newsgroup weekly! Isnt this great news!

Ok, on a serious note, Benjamin really has hit the nail on the head. Something
should be done about the multi-FAQ situation. The real problem here is that
both Greg and Ken firmly believe that they are right. And the truth is they
both have valid points. I have exchanged email with the two of them, and
contrary to popular belief, they are both reasonable men. Its a shame we all
cant put aside pride for a moment and do whats best for the group.
