    It is starting to get a bit excessive. I rather see something
like that posted once _per month_ than several times in one day.

    Another option, if all that must get posted more frequently,
then why not condense all that information into a basic nutshell.
In my own IIgs FAQ I summed up all its major features in 6 lines
near the very beginning (it still has the same affect--enough to
whet the reader's interest in the computer).
