SUGGESTIONS FOR THE E-SYLUM EDITOR

Alex Jensen writes: "I recently joined The E-Sylum list and I am very 
happy with what I read. Thank you! However, I have a recommendation 
for you. Every time I get The E-Sylum I miss an overview of the topics. 
In order to to establish an overview I believe adding a table of contents 
would do that. How does that sound to you? Best regards and many thanks 
for a very interesting newsletter."

[Well, I agree that a table of contents would be handy, but I already 
lose enough sleep preparing the newsletter. My Wayne's Words section is 
intended to provide a summary as well as an outlet for editorializing, 
but it is not a strict table of contents. Part of the problem is that 
the final issue doesn't come fully together until just before publication. 
New submissions and news items pop up constantly. It's not practical 
to build a table of contents before the issue is done, and by the time 
Sunday evening rolls around I'm in no mood to stay up later and create 
one.

However, thanks to John Nebel's programming magic, soon after each new 
issue is posted to the NBS web site, a table of contents is automatically 
generated from the headlines of each submission. So while the original 
email has no table of contents, the permanent archive does. For example, 
this page lists every issue in the current volume, with links to the 
table of contents for each: club_nbs_esylum_v10.html -Editor]
