Well, if the FAQ has gone to more than 10k, it will be very useful to=
 HTMLized it, you can divided section by section, and then put somekind of=
 link to the other sections at the beginning of the FAQ so that people can=
 jump to directly to the section that they want to read.

Speaking of web browser, how many you out there that got an access to a web=
 browser that that can handle frames?

BTW, is there a plan on building a SWAT Kats vehicles and weapons FAQ? I=
 think that would be cool if that FAQ got HTMLized too.

Well, in that case, here's some of the suggestion for the new HTML FAQ that=
 I can think of right now:

When somebody click the merchandise thing on the FAQ, there is a link to the=
 pictures of the merchandise in rat.org/kats/promo directory.

When somebody click the 23 episode thing on the FAQ, there is a link to the=
 episode guide (rat.org/kats/episodes.txt).

BTW Razor, I think that you should add the "no SWAT Kats comic" thing and=
 the officiality of Walt's SWAT Kats fan club to the FAQ .

Oh yeah Razor, one more thing, who is Yaeger?
