    This is completely off-topic, but I must ask what happens to the new posts visible on AllTop after they are displaced by others. Your website, you see, shows nothing after July 29, which make things a bit of a nuisance if there might just be one a reader wishes to follow. Looking through pages of the site, one comes to a page which would seem to indicate by its mixture of dates that your former chronological order of posts broke up. Of course, if you explain, I probably won’t be able to see the response, because…see preceding.

      Ah. I see you have finally corrected this and returned to the correct chronological order of pre-July 29. No need to thank me for pointing this out to you in the first place.
