I've been meaning to ask this for a while, and seeing the subject come
up reminded me: Why are FAQs archived under such peculiar names? It
makes it very difficult for me to tell people "You can find my FAQ on
rtfm.mit.edu under the following file name(s)...". And what's the
point of our putting archive names on our FAQs at all if rtfm isn't
going to respect them?
