you didn't make it clear to me, either.

which is why i removed the pdf file from the faq distribution build the
other day.  i may manage another release before i retire (and the faq
service disappears) at whhich point the pdf will go automatically.  the
whole thing is taking ever longer to proof read than back when i was
healthier.

i doubt it matters much.  almost none of my hits come from anything
other than google and the like, and the pdf is so huge i don't imagine
anyone wants to read that, either.  so no-one will notice.
