Re: Idea for FAQ

[Guest guest]

I understand your reasoning behind this. However, as one of the newer

gfcfers, I appreciate the feedback from several people. I like the

different opinions and ideas on subjects. When I first looked at this

website, I was overwhelmed(who wasn't?!)and I felt comfortable seeing

other new ppl asking equally " obvious " questions. I also don't know

if I would have taken the time to look for a FAQ section. If I saw

it, I would probably think it was just like the FAQ on gfcfdiet.com(I

think that's the site I am thinking of...) Plus, I think one of the

purposes of this site is to help new people, like me, recieve

personalized guidance from the many people who have been there, done

that. I like this site bc it feels personal in that sense. Talk to me

in a year or so, though.....(ie I understand your frustration)

Plus, can't we go to Archives to find more specific info? Again,

though, I still feel so overwhelmed and unsure of what I am doing,

that I would prefer direct responses from several people. Do you have

any idea how many times I ran to this computer to ask a question

during my first few weeks! :-) This group was and is a lifesaver to

those starting out-ME!

I agree...I am new here and although a FAQ section would save time I thought

the purpose of this website was to assist others in answereing questions and

providing friendship in a difficult time. If everything is changed so the

*old timers* can chat and we *newbies* have to search on a FAQ sheet...you

may lose alot of potential chatters!

There is a very large FAQ being worked on right now headed by

n Klaveness. It will be very extensive when it is finished.

Many people have been involved in the making of this FAQ.

It's foundation is the original FAQ that Karyn Seroussi wrote,

you can view this at http://www.gfcfdiet.com/FAQKarynSeroussi.htm.

I believe the new FAQ is almost complete, if n sees this e-mail I'm

sure

he will be able to answer further.
