Yep, I _am_ officially bored with you. Upgrade your FTP client, Tim,
because _I_ find in that directory _3_ directories, one of which has the
incredibly obscure name "Text" - wonder what that could be? Another says
FreeBSD-1.x, and the other says "extras" and contains just that.
There's even a ROADMAP file that lists what all the other faqs are.
(Perhaps a 0 should be put at the front of this name so it's always at
the top of a sorted list?)
If you're going to bash FreeBSD, try to include a little truth.
