I am new to the newsgroup world...is there a Frequently Asked Question (FAQ)
file for this group?
Or does someone have some advice for me?

Is there a searchable archive?

Hi John.

I see Bob S has pointed the FAQ at you. As for advice, ignore/filter
the crossposted garbage... don't reply or bemoan its existence, you'll
only encourage those who get their jollies creating it.

Searchable archive is at
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&group=rec.woodworking but
beware... all the garbage you'll be filtering will be there.
