This article is from the Robert Jordan FAQ, by John S. Novak, III jsn@concentric.net with numerous contributions by others.
Before posting your brilliant new idea (e.g. "Hey! I think Shaiel
= Tigraine," or "Hey! Maybe Slayer = Luc + Isam!"), make sure it
has not been discussed to death months before. The collected
wisdom of the jordan discussions is available in the form of the
Wheel of Time FAQ. It is a huge document, and even if you don't
feel like reading it all at once, you should read it at some
point, and at least search it for keywords before bringing up
something that has already been discussed. Details on how to get
the Wheel of Time FAQ are found in in section 5.1 below.
Note that just because a topic is covered in the Wheel of Time
FAQ does not mean you cannot post to the newsgroup about it.
However, it would be a good idea, and the polite thing to do, if
you check the WoT FAQ first so that you can consider previous
discussion of your idea and hopefully discover something we all
missed.
