James, Thanks for the very clear post on the subject. I have no problem with a delay of minutes to an hour -- nothing is so important it can't wait a few minutes. So, I'll not change anything for now.

I've been subscribed to: gmane.comp.documentfoundation.libreoffice.documentation for a few months, but there are never any updates to it, so something needs to get fixed.
