A suggestion to make this monthly posting more useful: perhaps consider adding a revision number and/or date? I don't want to miss noticing changes when the FAQ has been updated or revised, but I'm not necessarily going to be in a position to be able to readily notice when that has happened. (This time I was, because I happened to have a copy of last month's posting ready to hand and it's short enough to fit all on one page without scrolling for me at my display resolution, but neither of those is guaranteed to be the case for a lot of people.) Another mailing list of which I was a member, before it shut down this summer after years of operation, had a similar monthly FAQ posting; the posted FAQ included a version number, including I think a revision date. (I'd have to check, but I think it may even have included a "what's new in this version" at the top, if not a per-version changelog. Either of those could be overkill here.) That's certainly not a universal practice, but I found it useful there, enough so that the lack of it has now stood out to me enough here that I am now making this suggestion. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
