I have not seen the rec.ponds FAQ before now, but have just finished
reading it from top to bottom. I would like to compliment all of
those who have contributed to, and compiled this piece of work.
IMHO it is excellent. I would encourage every novice (as I still
consider myself) to read it thoroughly before even thinking about
posting a question to the NG. I wish that I had been aware of it
earlier!
