Actually, this raises the point that the FAQ should probably have some kind of universal pointer to Sheldon's site. Maybe something along the lines of "if you have a question about how to adjust or fix something, check out sheldonbrown.com before asking here because if he has anything about how to fix or adjust it, six or seven people will point you to it as soon as you ask."
It's a just a minor inkling, but I think section 3.14 might need a bit of work.
Well, the obvious addition to 3.14 is 15927...

-> ...so I did a new incarnation of the FAQ. I shall name this one Beta -> 0.2a: j-harris.netambfaq.htmOpen ↗ -> -> It's even sillier and more irreverent than the previous incarnations, -> but at least the font works, it's complete and the html is ok (I think). -> -> It's a just a minor inkling, but I think section 3.14 might need a bit -> of work.
I think its perfect well 3.14 is anyway.

Hrm, did a search on "know it all [censored]" in this newsgroup on google, and only found one quote ... that one about a guy, too. Just as well ... I don't really need to read through yet another flame war.

You forgot to add the shortcut to the link in this section. 4.2 - My gears don't shift properly. Wah!

You want me to lie? :p
after all they aren't afraid to eat some dirt

In fairness, you're all big and ugly enough to handle yourselves, and anyone who stoops to that level has far bigger problems than an FAQ can sort out.
Everyone will

Don't you think that makes you sound weaker? Yes, it's a poke in the eye to a msyoginist pig, but that point's probably better made in a direct reply.
Still think the sentence is ambiguous ... it could just as easily be read "Don't top post and don't learn to quote properly." Personally, I'd go for "Don't top post. Learn to quote properly."
I can't say that I see the ambiguity, but I changed it to 'Learn to quote properly and don't top-post' anyway.

Looking at it today, I think the ambiguity is extremely slight ... but thank you for the nod =)
I was extremely sick yesterday and am only somewhat sick today, so that may be the difference *achoo!*

Maybe somewhere in that section you should mention that people should keep their signatures to one line, maybe two. Anything more than that is a waste of space, especially if none of it's original!
