1.4.1. "Should I read this?" - Yes, reading this will point you toward other sources of information, will answer the most commonly asked questions, and will (hopefully) head off the reappearance of the same tired themes every few months. - Use a search tool if you have one. Grep for the things that interest you, etc. The granularity of this FAQ does not lend itself to Web conversion, at least not with present tools. + What _Won't_ Be Covered Here + basic cryptography + many good texts, FAQs, etc., written by full-time cryptologists and educators - in particular, some of the ideas are not simple, and take several pages of well-written text to get the point across - not the focus of this FAQ - basic political rants
