Re: [A/S] ADMIN: FAQ for this List

[Roy Lashway <rlashway@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I tend to agree to the above EXCEPT if anyone could take all the 
topics/questions, say from the Patterson site and  be separate  the 
reasonable solutions to the problems from simple observations, chats, and 
speculations which  could be consolidated listed under FAQ's then we 
would have a super reference manual.  There has been some intimation that 
maybe this effort will be made in the future thru the Vintage Club but 
this would be a monumental effort.  For a long time Patterson actually 
did some screening and kept the best of what came up from the list(s) but 
as the traffic kept growing I think it got just to much.  It is easier 
just to save it all and with his improved computer capability and  his 
indexing it is a fine reference point.  Charlie Burke also had a good 
site for FAQ at the A/S web site.  But if  someone could screen all this 
material, index and catalog it, they could probably produce a very good 
how to do it book or web site on most common problems that have repeated 
question.  But what a never ending task that could be.  So the FAQ 
thought is not quite as  a spurious it seems and suspect this might be  
what our list member was getting at .  However, if anything like this 
should be attempted I think it would be advisable to be a joint effort of 
the Airstream List, the Vintage List, the two Airstream web sites,  Tom 
Patterson, Charlie Burke and a few others, maybe even the A/S Corp(Thor) 
so there would be SINGLE effort and SINGLE result and not a  duplication 
of effort.
