Or, with Ruatha’s concurrence of course, I think it would make a great addition to the FAQ. We could crack open one of those “Reserved for future use” paragraphs like #17 and that would make the addition very easy. We just add “17.” to the beginning of all existing paragraphs and there you go. Keep in mind, if added to the FAQ you would give up some control of it since it sorta becomes community property and anyone is free to add to it or add countering strategies. As for adding it, let me know. I am in the middle of another minor revision (being delayed by real life and a terrible cold right now) and would gladly incorporate it.

On the issue of a hosted HTML page. It could be a good thing but I have to say I am a little uncomfortable with this for a few of reasons. First, I am very unskilled at HTML; not that I couldn’t learn or that the necessary formatting would be hard, but a text file is just simpler. Second, having the file here allows us to quickly refer to it to help answer questions as well as cut/paste from other threads for additions; also, linking to other threads here is very easy. Lastly, I think it would be asking a little too much to have someone pay for a hosted site. If it was a free site, those usually come with pop-ups which I hate and access can be revoked on short notice. Maybe I am just a dinosaur when it comes to converting.

Thoughts?
Slick,
Hope you are feeling better these days. I've pondered this a bit, and have weighed your advice.

I would be honored to have my Strategy Articles included in the FAQ. Giving away control is no big deal to me, and I really like the idea of one-stop-shopping.

I hope I don't throw off your numbering system too badly... do you intend all strategy articles to be under #17, or for each article to have a number (i.e., 17, 18, 19)?

FYI: I'm not writing them in any particular order right now; I'm finishing up "Get the Most Out of Fighters" next...
