Feel free to forward individual Tidbits, or the entire tidbits issue, to
interested people (but make sure they don't already receive it; a lot do!) When

them to the tidbits website (see below.)
Tidbits is intentionally concise, but I know a lot of people don't understand
many of the items because little explanation is given. If a Tidbit brings up a
question in your mind, feel free to ask, and I'll answer as time, knowledge and
inclination permit.
