The best way to handle this dilemma is, of course:

* To write a drop-dead easy FAQ that even your _Mom_ can
  'get' right away -- covering all these, uh... FAQs.

* Make it REAL easy to access -- and refer to too -- in
  these situations: so it doesn't distract you, as you
  constantly steering people to it.

* And resign yourself to giving-over a certain part of your
  time to handling these cries for help. But then, that's
  what you're resigned-to already, isn't it?

Point is, I doubt very much that your present FAQ setup is
quite up to this job. Nor your present structure of division
of labor.
