Just a quick FYI on the News/Blog section.
There is an Atom feed available for use with external news readers. There's all kinds of readers available, some for free and some for a small donation/payment. An updated list is available at: http://www.atomenabled.org/everyone/atomenabled/index.php?c=5
The link for the feed is: http://www.asstr-mirror.org/files/Authors/drwho/www/blog/xml/atom.xml
Also, anyone can post comments here. Just click on the "x comments" (where x is a number) link at the bottom of the message you want to comment on and then click on the "Post a Comment" link at the bottom of that message only page. You can then log into Blogger (free account) or post anonymously, which ever you prefer.
Finally, ASSTR is always in need of donations. Running a service like they do isn't cheap at all and they currently don't charge users a dime for it. That's a great thing and we should all do our part to ensure it stays this way. No amount is too small and all donations to ASSTR are tax deductible to the maximum extent allowed by law.
