Twenty-six years ago today, Lee Silverman posted the first Phish.net Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) File. It's evolved over the years - up and out, to an unwieldy 500+ pages of cruft; and slowly back to a more tidy but still in-need-of-attention ~100 questions currently.

1. How do you pronounce Junta?
2. What are they saying in "You Enjoy Myself"?
3. Can you give me some basic background info?
4. How do I post to the Phish-net? Change Subscription?
5. What is The Helping Phriendly Book?
6. Is it a Fat or Furry creature from Mars?
7. What is "Mike's Groove"?
8. How do you pronounce "Guelah Papyrus"?
9. What are the really early albums and what songs are on them?
10. What's Trey's real name?
11. How are Phish related to the Grateful Dead?
12. What is a tape tree and how does it work?
