True about namecalling.

Being an FAQ maintainer seems like a thankless job. I have felt that they may be jealous because you are the maintainer and not them. -- Bwig Zomberi

David Mark's feature detection, useful stuff on Stockton's website, special effects JS on Jorge's website and thing like that.

Still you should ask yourself whether you have acquired a misconception about this newsgroup's FAQ, or FAQs in general. A FAQ is not meant to be the tutorial that you apparently want it to be (as indicated by many of your suggestions for "improvement"). An approach of "FAQ-as-FAQ-can" means certain death for a newsgroup. For if everything was explained in a FAQ, there is nothing left as original thought.
