A question and a suggestion:
While I can see roughly what an FAQ is, what do the letters stand
for?
Detab! Some of us have brainless mail handlers (mine is CCMAIL
for DOS) that don't translate tabs at all, but just leave a
little bulls-eye sort of symbol. Others have different tabs from
yours (whatever yours may be), which will make the spacing wrong
or even bizarre. In fact, as general advice to anybody posting
any text, I would say change tabs to strings of spaces if you
possibly can. Tables are a different matter, where most of the
space is white... but then it would be a good idea to tell people
what tab settings to use.
