It just seems more intuitive and natural for someone involved in a UA discussion to ask, "What's Global Services?" and for someone else to respond, "Some mysterious poo bah UA status that is higher than 1K" than to expect a new person just checking out UA to stop in the middle of his/her discussion and go search for FAQs.

I guess my skim and ignore skills are pretty well tuned because I just ignore the stuff that doesn't really interest me and focus on the the cool stuff.
Well, try searching in the UA forum specifically.

The 'faq' under 'help' on the top of the page is woefully inadequate.. more of a vbulletin help vs. anything else.

too tired to go on.. can/may comment again tomorrow.
