The FAQ of Daggers
P. Korda
As some of you have noticed, at long last, the FAQ of Daggers
appeared at the usual
sometime last night.
It features a new organizational structure which will hopefully be
easier to navigate than the gargantuan "Section 1" and "Section 2" of
past FAQs. Thanks to Erica Sadun for suggesting it.
Big thanks to Novak, Rich, John Hamby, Steven Cooper, Karl-Johan, and
Kevin Baker for one or more of the following: i) writing a section,
ii) writing a Usenet post which explained an issue so well that I was
able to use it with little or no alteration for the relevant section,
or iii) writing a good analysis of an issue and posting it on a web
page and not being upset at me for using it.
Sa'thanks to Matthew Hunter for doing so much work to make the FAQ
web-a-riffic, and for accomodating all my demands on what it should
look like and how we should do things.
Thumbs up to Kate and Novak for doing extensive proofreading. (Trent
and Hamby also did a bit of proofreading.)
Comments and bug reports are welcome, although they may be ignored for
a while.
Anybody who made posts or sent me mail on faq-topics recently
(especially mythology stuff): don't be upset that I didn't add your
comments in. I haven't added much in the last few weeks; we've been
trying to fix navigtion bugs. I don't intend to modify the FAQ for a
while-- I need a break from it.
Whew. Now maybe I can get some science done. Or maybe I'll just go see
Star Wars again.

Wow. Whoa. We're not worthy.
Sincere thanks to everyone who obviously poured
heart and soul into the FAQ Reborn. It is far and
away the single most incredible work of it's kind
anywhere on the net that I have ever seen. Thanks for
all of your work. Thanks for putting up with all of

And thanks for making this a much neater, cooler, and
altogether much more intelligent and interesting group

[I was going to e-mail thanks --too often, people
never get the thanks they deserve for doing great
work-- but after seeing the contributor list
realized it would be hopeless. I sincerely hope my
first post here after long lurkerdom doesn't violate
too many parts of rasfwr-j FAQ section 3.1.5. :-) ]

I read a version of that years ago, but hadn't been able to find it
again. Glad to see it.
Might I suggest a small addition to the "Biblical references" bit?
Somewhere in Revelations (don't have a copy, can't look it up), it
mentions a star coming to Earth and doing all sorts of desolation- and the
star, for no apparent reason, is called Wormwood. As in Fain's nickname?

Of course, I didn't do anything that would get me into the credits, but I

Wa-hoo!! I've been waiting for this almost as avidly as for the next WOT
installment.
In a nutshell: it's brilliant. Packed with new stuff, and an extremely
thorough revision of the old sections (the revised Taimandred and Asmodean
sections are really well done), it's an incredible piece of work -- the
greatest WOT resource on the Net, by a mile.

This is a much better organisation than the previous one, which really was
starting to creak under the strain (IIRC, the "Short Answers" section went
up to about 1.54, which was a discussion of Moridin, the Watcher and the
Wanderer that took up about eight pages when printed out...).

Honour to serve. I was hoping to make the list of contributors, but I
hardly expected to get my own section!
My vote for Best New Section goes to Rich Boye' for finally straightening
out the Vileness after the Aiel War (section 2.4.11). Taking a tangled
mass of scattered references and laying them out in such a clear,
understandable sequence requires high-quality writing.

The navigation works very well, and the keyword index is a great idea that
looks extremely useful. Well, apart from the "Robert Jodan" typo...

There's still a few typos remaining, but nothing important -- the only
amusing one I found is the title of section 2.4.02 as listed in the
contents pages: "Did LTT balefile himself?" I didn't even know they had
newsreaders in the AoL...

It's the real thing, honest.
If you've consulted the FAQ often, try clearing your cache, then follow
the link again.
That ought to do it.

Shift-reload should do the trick, it's most likely an artifact of a

Archie didn't have to. It didn't give a shit about taiwanese porn when I
asked for the location of specific software. Trying to find anything of

The point is that Archie just wasn't cut out to deal with the the
amount of stuff that's out there today. Everybody and their dog has
web pages (or porn sites, more likely) nowadays, and it's not going to
ever go back to how it was before.
Getting nostalgic about the days gone by, when everything was perfect
and Jordan only took a year to write the next book, won't change
anything. Though it might make Chad happy.
[ObForChad:

everybody in the froup by using bigbig words and needlessly

]
That being said, you might try www.google.com as a search engine. The
results that it returns are usually an order of magnitude better than
altavista or whathaveyou.
And if you're just looking for programs, there's always
ftpsearch.lycos.com or download.com, I guess (freshmeat.net for linux
geeks, too).

I can usually get more relevant matches with less effort, than I can

It was a bit of hyperbole, Mike. The fact still remains that the porn
vendors fill their headers with loads of non related stuff for the
specific purpose of skewing search engine results. It gets tiring. Fast.

Archie was a collection of servers that various sites around the net kept
