Are you deaf and dumb? Or have you just been filtering out so many threads
that you're no longer up to date with current news? Any number of people
*HAVE* taken up the gauntlet, and have started writing new FAQs. Do you
honestly expect them to finish in less than a week? It is entirely possible
that they actually have other things they have to do, and can't spend 20
hours a day writing their new FAQs.

Not even Nathan was able to update the FAQ to it's present version in a 
matter of days... it took him a constant effort from ever since he started
with the old FAQ.

So, give people a chance, rather than insulting them because they can't
get things done instantaneously.
