No offense, but don't we have other issues to chat about, like one space
versus two or how FrameMaker instantly makes one unproductive? effayqueue or
fak, does it really matter? Just be consistent. FWIW, I had always thought
newbies used effayqueue . . . it seems that perspective was not correct, so
I guess I get to learn some trivia today.
Cheers,
