I'll try, but I'm very short on time (I'm still months behind on reading
the list messages...).

This of course I appreciate very much! :-)))

There are nice spell checkers in Linux... ;-)

Grrr, a Flash movie! And nothing else on that page! I cannot view it on
my Linux box (I don't go through the hassle of installing that). So I
had to boot the old Windows box... Neither Netscape 4.8.0 nor Mozilla
1.3.0 (Windows 2000), both with Shockwave Flash 5.0 r41 plugin, display
*anything* but a white space. And you can imagine what I see in my
favoured browser elinks (a text-only browser)... So I cannot comment on
the contents because I am unable to access it.

I don't know about the others, but I think sending a mail to the list
every month (or maybe every two weeks) should be fine, especially if you
include a short abstract about the changes. Also it would be nice to
have direct links to the new stuff in the mail (as I said I'm short on
time, and such links would make review easier for me).

Again best wishes for your paper!
