Basically, I had intended to mail it weekly or perhaps monthly, but certainly
when a new reader pops up. It is around to try to answer a packet of questions.
Most of the questions were picked due to someone asking them more than 1 time.
I am still not sure of the frequency, but if a newcomer asks a question in it,
it will be posted.  That will perhaps head off a list of further questions
and comments.

Cheers
Woody
