Just an FYI to you and Paul; the FPs are already on the FA server. The 
site is completely functional over there -- no internal links need to be 
changed. The only linking changes would be to the HBfile, the PWEs, the 
front page of the hpfgu.org.uk main page and admin files like that that 
link *to* it. Hopefully Steve can put a redirect on his page for people 
trying to find it over there.

I still have to FTP over the latest changes to hypotheticalley.html to the 
FA site, but I can probably do that today; I just didn't get around to it 
yet.

In general, the advantage (for me, at least) of moving to FA's server is 
that Dicey and I can update it more easily, without having to ask Steve to 
do anything for us. So that lets us skip a step in doing updates. Plus, 
the URL is shorter. :-)
