suggestions

["Brian Holley" <comp_brain@hotmail.com>]

hey everyone-

I think this has been suggested before, but I'll give it another shot.

i think it would be easier on everyone, especially the people with slow 
bandwidths if we created an FAQ of sorts including things like where to get 
the DirectX SDK, what are some good tutorial sites, popular compilers to use 
and where to get them, etc.  This would (hopefully) stop lots of questions 
about where to get DirectX (i know that I have personally seen quite a few) 
and would free up lots of inbox space, etc.  just something to consider.

also, i don't know how this could be implemented, but add something to the 
subscribe screen that goes something like this:

"please do not use this list for spam or stupidity purposes.  the purpose of 
this group is to help anyone and everyone who wants to learn game 
programming."

I don't know if it would do anything, but it would make it clearer so that 
people know that this isn't just another list to spam.

okay, that's my $0.02 for today.
-Brian
