Unfinished FAQ?

Tim,

I was going through the FAQ and was puzzled by what appear to be cryptic notes
to yourself, such as "quote from Wired, Whole Earth Review" in the definition
of cpunk in the MFAQ, along with a number of questions without answers -
"Who are Alice and Bob" in the MFAQ for example.

Do I have an unfinished version (0.666!) or what?

public.]

First, it will never be "finished."

Second, the less-than-1.00 numbering is, as usual, indicative that the
version is less-than-complete.

Third, I explained this in the Release Notes. I suggest people read
this first. 

To repeat, I felt it was important to get out what I had. Many people
had been bugging^H^H^H^H asking me about it for the past few months,
so I decided to issue what I had in time for the 2nd Anniversary
meeting. I missed that deadline by less than 20 hours.

Yes, there's a mix of styles, partly prose essays, partly enumerated
lists of points. And even incomplete sections. Such is life.

Like I said in the Release Notes, anybody is welcome to get their
money back.

Meanwhile, more than a megabyte of text exists. Ought to be enough for
now.
