	>Greetings from Jim Dennis</H3>
<!-- begin greeting -->

<p>So, I spent half of the month in Japan.  The first week that I was
  there I was too busy, tired and disoriented to get any e-mail.</p>

<p>So my column this month is a bit thin.  Of course there is this one
  message that's pretty long.  I think it's the second longest I've
  ever written here.  The longest was on Internet Routing.  That one 
  is being used as supplemental reading for a couple of college
  course from what I hear.   This one is not likely to join it.</p>

<p>Meanwhile I still have about 3000 messages in my backlog folder
  which will take some going through.  Luckily I use MH, so I'll
  probably develop a script to process most of the routine stuff.</p>

<p>Speaking of "routine" Mike Orr, and Heather have taken steps to
  reduce the number of "routine" questions we get here in Linux
  Gazette.  They've created an <a href="../lg_faq.html">FAQ</a> and 
  an <a href="../lg_index_tag.html">index to all of my previous</a> 
  "Answer Guy" questions.  I haven't seen it yet --- but
  hopefully we can convince people to use it.
  There are about 900 questions that I've answered listed.</p>

<p>That, and the fact that the WebGlimpse engine at Linux Gazette
  (http://www.linuxgazette.com) seems to be working at last, might
  help people answer alot of their own questions (which is the whole 
  reason I put so much time into TAG anyway).</p>
