Squeak newbie page

I'd be willing to edit the FAQ page, though I'm not sure I feel
comfortable deleting other people's postings...  I usually look to the
FAQ before posting to the list, e.g. with my question about databases. 
I try to be very conscientous about flooding email lists.  I was there
when the comp.infosystems.www.authoring.cgi newsgroup went from 20-30
posts per day to over 300. (most of which WERE in the FAQ.  Hmmm...)

Maybe there isn't a FAQ yet because there isn't an obvious group of
frequently asked questions, in which case such a thing could evolve from
the postings to this list.

P.S.  It's been pointed out that netscape is not listing
squeak at cs.uiuc.edu as the reply-to on my messages.  Is this something I
can fix?
