WLS FAQ?

[phatgirl]

Shel brought up the idea & I have since talked to HC about it. What would you all think about developing a thread of the most commonly asked questions about wls and the various answers? Do you think it would be helpful? Or would the answers be too various and therefore confusing?

Just wondering what you all think. Post here and let me know. The only way it would be good is if there was lots of input.
