I haven't used the C FAQ much recently, but certainly I have referred to it many times in the past. Based on the rest of your message it looks like you are in for countless hours of fun and excitement. ;) There is one suggestion/request I would like to make about the website itself. Please make the http://... urls work directly, and not redirect through the https://... urls. (Having the https://... alternate urls work also is perfectly okay, I'm not suggesting that they should be removed, only that there be no automatic redirection.)
