I agree that our FAQ should have FA Q's in it.  To that end I spent
some time over the weekend searching for "lisp question" in cll; I
found a Q I'd seen a couple times before, and submitted an A for it.

I think the answers in our FAQ should grow that way, though I also
think we should have a pre-defined structure.  (I haven't looked at
Robb's proposed structure in detail yet.)

I think it boils down to, if you don't think a Q is FA, don't A it.
If you find what you consider a FA Q, A it, and we'll add it.
