I think it could really help a lot of the newer researchers. Sue [Screener tls: Roots-L has always had a FAQ. Check out: http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/roots-l/roots-l.welcome1 and new people(and some old-timers!) should check out the mailing list of Gen-Newbie@rootsweb.com http://www.rootsweb.com/~newbie/ ]
