Please leave messages for me here (or elsewhere and ping). I will try to handle them soon. Note that answers may be delayed for several reasons:

1. I want to think my answer through.
2. I am busy or have found a good novel :)
3. I have noticed my accuracy in that particular area is not at its best and want to delay answering until I feel steadier.
