The article. Pick whatever adjective you like beginning with F!

Yes and to be clear, one uses "TFA" to imply annoyance that TFA hasn't been read.

e.g. "TFA covers this already."

That’s not something I wanted to imply. It can also stand for "the fine article". Is there a better shorthand for "the article linked at top of the page" / "the original article"?

		Nope, you just say "the article". But also... nobody's truly offended by "TFA" AFAIK.
