Well, guys and gals...
If you read the last post then you know what I am about to ask. This is especially for you veteran SHHS members, but new members feel free to pipe in. As we check in daily to our expert page, there are often novices making their first post. Inevitably it is a question that has been asked 1001 times before. We read it, roll our eyes, and then either ignore it or make some short, almost trite, answer. Some members (like John Z) are good at answering questions gently and thoroughly, but we can't rely on him to carry all the load. The solution? A Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) page that is almost a standard for webpages. Now we can't rely on our web team to bear this entire load. I suggest that we help them. Let's post here our list of questions that are often posted, and list some possible answers. If we work together this should be an easy task and beneficial for both new and 'old' members. Here are two off the top of my head:
1)
Q What do I need to start a business selling snake venom
A Either $1,000,000,000 or a genie in a bottle (of course we don't have to be so sarcastic :-) )
2)
Q In the classified section, what fo all of those numbers separated by periods mean?
A Number of Males. Number of Females. Number with sex undetermined

One FAQ is "What is a good starter hot?" Not easy to answer without a full profile of the asker, but one that might be considered. Somewhere in the answer, a recommendation for access to or ownership of antivenin ought to be made, as well as pointing out the fact the "new" antivenin is not as effective in the same doses as the "old" stuff, & is much more expensive.

As a new member myself I think it's a very good idea.
These days I tend to check any question I may have in the search engine on the site first.
I can usually expect to find the answer I'm looking for in previous posts.
Regards,
Mark.

I added a post to the next topic (Cameroon Scammers...would it perhaps be useful/reasonable to add a FAQ or (another) new section devoted to known scammers/disreputable dealers? If I were a keeper, I would certainly be interested in any information I could get about people to avoid. An aside to all of those here who I see offering advice, etc...you are a real credit to this undertaking. I've learned a great deal in my visits to the site and look forward to learning more from you folks.
