A WEEK A CHAPTER? WHY THE HELL NOT?

[David Morris]

OMG! Mark!
Hissy fits?  Really?
Curmudgeon Morris brandishes an empty shotgun.  Not even rock salt. The
barrel is bamboo.

But I never suggested a chapter per week.  I suggest a week per assigned
segment/host.  Maybe 3 to 6 chapters per week. This weekly pacing allows a
diverse group to join in discussion without feeling their point was passed
by 3days ago.

I earlier suggested maybe 6 chapters per week.  Puh-leeze feel free to
carry on as you will.
