Pissed off with the same questions all the time

the s-car list hosts www.urs4.com , a website to which listers can post
technical how-to's and other info. This works well as a central knowledge
base for the UrS cars. Something similar might work for the q-list - a 5k
website, a 4k website, a 80/90 website, etc.

There's actually quite a few of these sites made; for example:
I've got a '91 200q20v specific web site here:

there is a 20v web site for the normally aspirated 20v '90/91 90 and coupe
here:
http://www.20v.org
When people post the same questions over and over, without first reviewing
some of the organized/compiled info readily available, it does get tiresome;
makes you wonder why you've spent the effort making such a site....
I'm seldom posting to the various lists, mainly due to time constrains in my
personal and professional life.  Hey, my site isn't updated often lately; my
family web site is about a year out of date.

My experience is that a large part of these lists is the head to head
discussion (keyboard to keyboard?) and not just the BTDT info.  Better access
to the compiled info is welcome; perhaps we should organize the links part of
Audifans with another heading: marque specific repair sites.

My site is on my own email (AOL), with a less than intuitive name for the
site.  Bet I'd get more traffic if it was
http://www.audifans.com/200q20v/index.html or similar.  But, I still get tons
of private email related to the site from around the world, and about 5000
hits per month.
