don't get me wrong, I really enjoy the newbie board, but it is mis-labeled.  A FAQ is usually a permanent list (hopefully updated as required) list of commonly asked questions and answers.  A REAL FAQ would reduce alot of the redundant questions on the board. Such a FAQ could include the oft requested definitions, and a discreet list of the "tried and true" things to do and say at the first visit, and what not to do or say.
