A Miscellany

This section is for correspondence which does not fit neatly into other sections of the site. Here you will find complaints, compliments and commentary.

This is where I will publish at least some of the “You guys are great!” and “You guys suck” messages, along with comments which are relevant but don’t directly address one of the existing articles. It’s also a place for articles which may be slightly (or more so) off-topic, perhaps controversial, but still of interest.
