Wasn't meaning to pick on you. The FAQs are a prime example of one of the problems with the FAA, everyone wants to issue and impose their interpretation of the regulations, and those "interpretations" are ofter more a product of that person's opinions of what the regulation should be rather than what it actually is.
John Lynch's FAQs contain "interpretations" which are in no way shape of form supported by the regulations, and in at least one interpretation his very flawed opinion is misrepresented as text from the CFR, apparently intentionally.
It is not all bad though, some of the FAQs are based on CHief Counsel legal interpretations, and include the chief counsel's letter of interpretation. These at least have some value, as they distribute real official FAA legal opinions.
Unfortunately there is no comprehensive source of legal interpretations from the office of chief counsel available on the web (at least I don't know of one anyway) I understand that they are available on CDROM through one or more of the companies which publish FAA documents.
