I for one applaud ways that would improve mine and others ability to gather information. I'm relatively new to the Bavaria List. (I am also on the Hesse and NordRein Westfalen lists, fantastic lists!), and would welcome a FAQ. I had read the listower's reply to Stephan and have to say I was quite shocked with his response. It was clear to me that Stephan conveyed his point with playfulness, i.e., the emoticons,etc. and good ideas. I love to assist people whenever I can and at the same time think that a great list can point one to information in an efficient and caring way.
