There’s only one new Cecil column a week. All the rest that you see are classic Cecil columns, or Staff Reports written by various non-Cecil folks. Due to some technical difficulties (hopefully soon to be fixed), the Staff Reports currently _are_ on hold, so they’re putting up more Classic columns now to fill in the gap.
