What I would prefer, at both these sites, is that they just link to the
URL of the HTML version of the FAQ maintained at my site. This version
is formatted and linked in a meaningful way for rec.food.drink.beer
readers (and any others that stop by). There's no question that Ohio
State and Utrecht U. are providing a valuable service, I just wish they
were flexible about which URL is presented for a FAQ.
