I’ve grown accustomed to the usual problems of aging (short term memory loss, waking with strange pains in strange parts of my body) but my afflictions until now have not included a distorted time sense. However, the new topics in _This Week’s Column, SD Classics and Cecil’s Mailbag_ which (I think) used to appear on a weekly basis ( Monday I recollect), have developed the annoying habit of showing up at all hours and days (I feel sure). For my peace of mind I have to know: have you guys changed the schedule for new material or should I maybe be thinking in terms of what kind of services I would like? ---

Ed gets to them as he can. Sometimes more promptly than others, depending on whatever’s going on with him. Sorry we can’t manage things more to your liking. your humble TubaDiva Administrator ---

No need for the venom, TubaDiva, he was just asking a question. –Tim ---

If it’s a holiday, the site isn’t updated. Other than that, _This Week’s Column_ is updated every Monday and _SD Classics_ and _Cecil’s Mailbag_ is updated every weekday. At least, that’s how I see it. Are you refreshing the pages by any chance? ---

The “This week’s column” is changed every week, but the Mailbag and the Classics are changed more frequently, and have been for as long as I’ve been here (about a year, counting sporadic lurking). ---

**Tubadiva** : It’s news to me I’m dis-satisfied with board management. Thanks anyway for the info on Ed’s work habits. ---

Well, hey, I was wondering about that, too (the schedule, not Ed’s work habits). And dang it, JCG was right, it IS annoying, why, it means I have to keep checking the Home Page every day, just to make sure I don’t miss anything! What are those Straight Dope rascals thinking of? They’re just trying to get us to look at the Home Page, that’s all. Come on, Ed, we need to keep a schedule going here, be a little more anal, OK? **Tuba,** as long as you’re apologizing for not running things according to our liking, how about an “I’m sorry” for not paying us 50 bucks just to log on, like the on-line casinos do, huh? Huh? How 'bout it? Huh? [note: this post is available in a special format for the sarcasm-impaired; see the Straight Dope Home Page.] ---
