Sorry for my late response, I was away last week.

Okay, I can understand this.

Could you send them do me directly? Otherwise you could subscribe [1] to 
our mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] and send the mails there.

But this would be better than nothing. :) I read Mark's blog of course

Yes, one single site or feed would be a lot easier to check and read 
every day.
