O/T faqomatic (was Re: FAQ Entry)

[Kevin Miller]

Doh!  I just blindly cut and pasted from the browser - Didn't notice the
auth key persisted after I'd left the posting form.  Thanks, I'll be more
careful in the future.

I don't know if that auth key is a one time only or if it persists (probably
the latter) but it might be prudent for Julian to deep-six my "account".  I
can create it anew w/a different password which should give a new auth entry
the next time I feel inclined to add something.  Now that it's in the
archives I'd hate for some miscreant to start posting a bunch of
objectionable stuff up there posing as me.

Or can I change my password/auth key from here?  I didn't notice a place to
do that in the Faq-O-Matic.

Sorry for any extra work I cause anyone...
