I don't recall how I got there for the first time. I suppose I picked up the
link somewhere. It does not matter. Look at it with the eyes of someone who
gets there for the first time without previous knowledge.

Yes, I knmow that NOW. But why on earth should someone who has found the
information he needs, or at least he thinks that he has, scroll down all the
way to the bottom to follow that link?

Again: why would anyone who thinks he already found what he was looking for, do
that?

Go searching for the FAQ only makes sense for someone who already has the
information that the on-line echolist is not up to date and that there IS a FAQ
leading you to the up to date information.

So I ask you again: How the hell am I supposed to know that the information on
that page is not up to date if I do not already have the information that it is
not?

Cheers, Michiel
