No, I said what I meant.  However, issues abound.  The
Forum application was developed and meant to be run
"from the house" .. by the system owner ... JT isn't going
to toss me the keys, and I'm running into all kinds of
permissions problems.  He gave me some su powers a
day or two ago, that let me move stiff around, went to
install a modification, then found that I didn't have the
rights to add / extend the SQL database.

All that to state that I found a weak way to simulate where
I'm headed.  The page is not ready for prime time, still
wrangling code on how this page gets 'developed' ... it
isn't even close to what I actually had envisioned ... but ..
here's 'your' chance ... take a look at the box currently
labeled "Site Navigation" ... that box (or one of the others
that will get knocked out) is what I'm suggesting as the
spot to list the pointers to the "critical" items for those
"first-time visitors, looking for that one answer" ....

What (few) questions need to show up there?
FAQ, Forum, newsgroups already linked to at
the top of the page ....
