If you have a collection of questions and answers and want to add them to FAQ 7, send it over and I'll make a special section for it. So, if you don't have enough material to make a FAQ of your own but want credit for your own collection of questions and answers, I'd be more than happy to join the wisdom of our FAQs. ;) (Besides, don't you suppose people would get tired of seeing all my winking happy faces?) The only editing I will make is to format what you send for webpage viewing (I have to insert paragraph and line breaks).

This should give you an idea of what questions are asked in Part C.
