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.

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.
