TFA is _T_he _F_antastic _A_rchives, it means the archive for this 
mailing list which contain a wealth of information many people missed. 

The joke is in line with RTFM and STFW. These two abbreviations is "Read 
The Fantastic Manual" and "Search The Fantastic Web" (I've substituted 
the original phrase with Fantastic), usually given in response to a 
question when the person being asked believes that the question could be 
easily answered by reading the relevant "manual" or instructions 
(Wikipedia could explain better than me).
