What is the point of the Beginners section?

Why not replace it with a FAQ that does exactly what Crispus outlines – answers the frequently asked questions with a few links to discussions on RAT or references to easily obtainable books (so, before asking questions about colour, read Sumner!) and so on.

A lot of other boards have gone this route (as did the old mailing lists in days of yore) and some became classics (certainly a typesetting, one which I still have on disk; it's so good!).

You know my method. It is founded upon the observance of trifles
