It seems this list is growing daily. With that influx of people we are
seeing many of the same questions over and over. Although a regularly
posted FAQ would answer many of these questions I think it's also
important to show new users where they can find their own information.

That's why I decided to compile a list of the sites that I find useful
for gathering information when I need a question asked.

Of course, this being all the sites that _I_ find useful means it may, or
may not, be useful to others. All you can do is take a look. If it helps,
great. If it doesn't, oh well.
