Doug,

I am also willing to make webspace available or reference your FAQ pages.
And much of this information is available in the PHYS-L archives to
anyone who wants to dig it out and reformat/edit/rephrase it.  Full non-
PHYS_L references should also be checked and cited appropriately.  I'd
like to state that I took one discussion on PHYS-L w while back (light bulb
filaments), and used it as one of several resources to write an article
accepted by THE PHYSICS TEACHER and now in revision.  We added a lot of
external reference materials and SEM images in that case.

I STRONGLY encourage you to choose a topic, cull the sources together and
start an appropriate page.  With enough external references, pictures and
writing, you could publish the work, earn tenure, pay the mortgage etc.

Best regards,

Dan M
