Thanks.

OT but what does TFA stand for? I've seen you use it in two threads and I presume it's referring to the posted article in question but I can't figure out the actual meaning.

The F*ing Article... probably evolved from RTFM. Hacker culture, so warm and welcoming, isn't it?

That usage was deprecated by RFC19647. The correct definition is now 'The Featured Article'.

The abbreviation gives some plausible deniability - it could be "the fine article"!

I've usually seen it as The Fine Article, but tastes vary. b^)
