It occurs to me that the "yet" that I added to this subject is a
little misleading.  Michael wasn't talking about articles which
would appear this weekend...

 From Michael's original message:

     The last time I checked, I get 12-15 thousand readers for
     each article.  One half of one percent uptake would
     (hopefully) be quite a few bug reports.

     My question to the community is: is it too early to do this?
     If I start now, the articles would probably appear April-May.
