    What is the fine article? Is it the source or the link if you will?

    The linked story. Way back in the /. days, if someone made an irrelevant comment because they didn't bother to read the article, a common retort was to tell them to Read The Fucking Article (sort of an homage to the older mainframe days of telling someone to RTFM for the manual). So in a discussion where someone wanted to refer to the linked article itself, people started referring to it as TFA. In polite company, people would tongue-in-cheek say that TFA meant "the fine article."
