Welcome to the AA forum. Because of the very high volume - 300 to 600 browsing at any moment - we tend to follow the TOS a bit more religiously about making it easier for members to search and find specific topics, as opposed to having many threads for people to try to figure out how to find information.
Some good tools: some key threads (such as this one) have a wikipost with the basic information; the FAQ "sticky" (includes links to internal and external resource pages), our FlyerGuide
AA Wiki, and of course Search - an excellent guide to using it can be found
here.

This normal? Any reason to be concerned?
