Re: (ET) ET FAQ

[Wayne Mosher <alleights att net>]

Dear Don,

It seems to me that some people will find the FAQ section interesting in 
general and would read it no matter what order it is in.  But, perhaps the 
most frequent use of it will be to trouble shoot or solve problems.  In 
that role, it would best be
organized some way to lead to a solution.  There may be others whose heads 
work differently from mine but I'll start the discussion with the outline 
suggested scheme below.  If FAQs were organized this way with similar 
subject matter grouped together,
it would be easy to use I think:

    Mechanical
        Brakes
            Adjusting
            Safety switch
        Steering
            Lubrication
        Tires
            Pressure
            Sources
        Corrosion
            Prevention
            Repair
    etc.

    Electrical
        Wiring
        Contacts/Relays
        Gauges
        Batteries
            Charging
            Terminals
            Cleaning
        Switches
        Won't turn on
        Won't run
    etc.

    Accessories
        Front mower
            Motors
            Blades
                Sharpening
                Balancing
            Under deck baffles
        Belly mount mower
            as above
        Tiller
            Lift
            Lubrication

    etc.

    etc.
