Ah yes, that does help. I don’t know what you mean by “menu bar” but I do see the acronym link in the list of topics on the FAQ page.

But how would I find that from the lugnet.com main page? ...Ah, I see, it’s one of the newsgroups. I didn’t expect to find it there; if there were FAQ resources, I expected to find them under “Guide” at the top of every page (or, if it makes more sense, a separate item at the top of every page, next to “Home” and “Guide”).

Or at the very least, the home page should have a prominent “New user? Start here!” link, which points out the FAQ. I’ve been surfing the web since it was Gopher, and run several web sites of my own, but still found lugnet to be rather easy to get lost in. (I’m starting to get used to it now though.)
