We do have some stuff like that on the main page, although maybe it should be grouped or labeled as stuff for freshers. There's no real reason to believe that that your average please-tell-me-a-web-page- that-will-explain-everything-about-piping fresher will actually read it, but it's worth a try. Looks to me like we ought to have links generally on the following

Glossary of piping terms
Tables of pipe and fitting dimensions (maybe bolt ing and sheet metal gauges)
Materials data
Technical societies
Books
Manufacturers
Software

And we make it a practice to generally reject the explain-me-all- about-piping posts with a note to check the web site, read everything and get back to us with any specific questions.

I wonder if Paul could score some ads from schools that teach piping. That might do everyone some good.
