Go to google. Type in something like rec.woodworking FAQ, or even
just rec.woodworking, and see what you get.
And/or, go to the archives. Type in rec.woodworking FAQ.

Stupid question, but how does one get hold of the FAQ?

Curses. I was hoping to find escapism from my dreary real life of
putting up with hostile Trek-nerds and Star Wars fanboys and comic book
dorks in the computer industry by getting into woodworking. I arrive
only to find more of the same. Damn you, Shatner!
Then again, what can a guy expect on newsgroups? :)
Or would that be Eisen? :-)

It's a reference to Star Trek, where an alien civilisation cruised the universe,
assimilating everything and everyone it came across like a giant virus: "You
will be assimilated; resistance is futile". I.E., any big box home improvement
store. When they come to town, the Mom and Pop places seem to die.
