I suppose it is to time consuming to extract the part of the FAQ and post it. Maybe you can write a batch for him which asks for a number and automatically extracts the corresponding part of the FAQ and inserts it in the posting? Would be of great help for all people who would like to see the answer to a question, but don't want to download the complete FAQ to get the few lines of answer belonging to the question. Would also help to reduce the global warming by reducing the wasted energy.

I'm impressed, sir. I'm not sure if you're serious, or trolling the troll. (Counter-trolling?)

It is too difficult to google translater. But I understood the salt. And what I think. Nobody can solve his problem not to discussing and testing his script. Please discuss.
But in any case this FAQ outlawed because it advertises personal resources. Besides solutions, which are listed on the links often do not universal. And may not be the final solution of the problem. Only a discussion in real time can yield results.

Suppose you are in a foreign town and ask somebody about the way to the railway station and you get the answer: "I have written a book about all the interesting placed in this town. Just got to the library and read page 23 of my book, there you will find the answer to your question." What do you think is the motivation of this man to give you this answer instead of simple telling you the way to the railway station?

The wise programmer keeps a copies of Timo's FAQs on his local machine and bookmarked.
Even when I had a 32kb/s dial-up connection, it was possible to fetch an update - always announced - in parallel with a News collection with under a minute's delay.
Since I have a quasi-automatic scheme using a USB stick to transfer automatic material from PC to laptop, I can claim that I rarely leave the premises without the relevant FAQs; also without copies of Zeller's date papers in the original and in English, and a PDF of Tomus V of the Opera Mathematica in the original. And of the web site indicated below.
