'Far beyond Google' - not possible, Google reaches very far! But
really I didn't know about the usenet, pretty cool thanks.

Final question - I'm finishing walls with drywall, do I leave a gap
(half inch) from the bottom of the drywall to the concrete if I do a
subfloor or not, or both?

You always leave at least a 1/2 inch gap at the bottom of drywall, if
for no other reason than to avoid wicking water from trivial floods.
3/4" is better, if you have a 1 1/2" sill plate. It also makes it easier
to get a tight center joint on wall. Hang top panel first, and jam lower
up against it with the little fulcrum doohickey they sell in the drywall
tool aisle. You do top panel first so you can jam it tight against the
ceiling panel for a nice tight joint. You did do the ceiling first,
right? (None of this applies if you are doing a drop ceiling as would be
typical in a basement- you use a chalkline on the studs to line up the
top panel in those situations.
