9 Completly agree with your position.
10 Too many users will have to make a little effort reading (or skipping)
11 it and only a few ones will benefit from including the text.
12 IMHO, no way to including the text into the handbook.

19 "F"recuently, that's the question. i have never heard anybody asking about it.
20 I was three years (2000-2003) using gentoo with 56k modem (and spanish
21 net really sucks) and never see that problem.
22 IMHO, wait until a "relevant" number of users ask about it and then,
23 put it into the faq without any problem.

25 Kind regards.
