Now surely this is more off topic than posting about an ebay auction. Am I
the first to jump on it? Or is FAQ posting from other newsgroups considered
'on topic' ? What if I have a FAQ that I'm auctioning on ebay? Is that cool
to link to? :-D

Just thought I'd try and stir up some trouble, you guys can relax now, heh
heh.
