[Michael Grenadier]

Thanks Kevin, a great resource

[Kevin-Monahan]

Thanks @Michael Grenadier! It's the first step in compiling them. Now I am determining which ones need to be archived, which need to be updated, and some which need consolidating. The FAQs on "color" for example, because as time goes on, the info becomes obsolete. The most dificult part of the FAQ index is to determine which FAQs are not here and need to be created. I will run some analytics to determine any holes. It's going to be a work in progress, so to speak. Thanks again for your support on this FAQ index. It's appreciated!

Cheers,
Kevin
