Q: This FAQ doesn't answer the question I have. What should I do?
A: You have a couple options here. You could forget the question, find an
easier question, or accept '42' as the answer no matter what. We don't

list (rockbox@cool.haxx.se).

about us not having sharp objects. I'm sorry. Now please stop calling me
here.
