Re: How about FIRST indexing Q&A's

They should not ANSWER them -- the should just put them someplace where we can all see what has been asked an discarded. I think it would have helped a lot.

I think a "frequented discarded question bin" would be a good idea to propose: it's so often that people ask pointless and foolish questions, that are, for lack of a better term, stupid.

There should also be a place to put questions that are answered in the manual. FIRST should not have to quote the manual. At all. All these questions asked by lazy people who wouldn't take the time to look at the manual or team updates.

A few extra staffers would help too: as well as a limit on 1 or 2 posters per team: preferably adults (although they are often no better than children)
