Edited #3 to add the quote from Jim Wilkinson.
As Glenn mentions with an edit in his original post, there is now a FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) space of the forum that will much easier to navigate and the content will be much more easily referenced, so all of the content from this post is now there. Please go to that space to see the latest FAQs, ask questions on them, make suggestions to them, etc.
I will lock this thread to make sure all future FAQ activity happens in that space.
Thanks Glenn for your hard work on this thread!
