I fear the price of popularity is a lessening proportion of technically able users and an increasing proportion of users who can't or won't formulate clear questions - Ubuntu is increasingly popular with non-technical users who are sick of Windows, and if they have a favourite Windows app they want to bring it with them, and Wine is better and better. FAQs alleviate this, but don't cure it - you can lead people to clues but you can't make them think. So those who can think will read the FAQ, and the visible questions from who can't or won't will get dumber and dumber ... - d. - d.
