I actualy have a related question. When I sent my faq in, I accentently
used an old "From" header with my full name. I reposted a day later with
my name spelled like a regular post, and at the same time clarified the
title of the FAQ. It looks like the approved version has the new title
but the long version of my name. the FAQ has not appered on RTFM. I am
going to re-post it tonight or tomorow with the long name just to see if
that will get it accepteed by the archive..

Is there an easy way to get the "offical" version of my name changed? Pam?
