Yes, of course. Changing the suffix just makes the confuser easily recognize that it is just text, and to open it with note/word instead of, well, being confused by a Rocky The Flying Squirrel suffix... hehe

BTW, you'll still need a .ffp file in the torrent - maybe make a copy to change suffixes so as not to screw up the torrent with missing / altered info... Don't make a 99% error by screwing up a file!
