True. I'll take that as a no.

But i was referring to "alt.philosophy".

I propose that the first FAQ would be "What is the meaning of life?"

The FAQ was a kinda joke considering the "group".

I'll probably knock my participation off in the group in the not too
distant future anyway so i shouldn't be concerning myself with such
things.

A pointer here would be of service :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy

Then this used to be pretty good, though I haven't used
it for a while :
http://plato.stanford.edu/

Does FAQ stand for "Frequently Answered Questions"?
Philosophy IMO covers "everything" not just the academic
foci. That's a reason I hang out here, everything is OT.
