Updating the chapter on Depreciation is a bit more complex than a FAQ.

So, yes, David's first email was on the 7th, and after a few emails 
between him and I (and the list) he states that he will work on some doc 
changes and get back to me (and the list).  He does so on Oct 26th:

https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2004-October/012173.html

After some discussion between him and I (and the list), a second 
concrete idea was formulated:
https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2004-October/012179.html

Which got applied to the web pages on the 29th:
https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2004-October/012183.html

Come on Derek, at least read the links I send you before commenting!

Yes, I understand the concept and advantages of a wiki.  And, what have 
these advantages gotten us so far?  Seriously, read through the wiki. 
As I mentioned before, there are less FAQ items, half of them are 
cut/paste from the concepts guide, and many of them are already answered 
or dealt with somewhere else.

Absolutely... not.  Of course I cannot.
