Good point Bill. Maybe these issues just need splitting up into 
individual FAQs and adding to that section. And if the answer requires 
much more than a couple of sentences then a separate page can be created 
and linked to provide a more in depth answer.

BTW, a more maintained version of the FAQs now resides on the Wiki:
