As the one who most recently touched the FAQ "near" there, I would
have to state with great conviction that ... the FAQ smells bad and
its mother dresses it funny.

I think Giorgios, I, and others, have plans to take chainsaws to the

otherwise the enormity of the mess just makes you want to go lie down.
