Feel free to forward individual Tidbits, or the entire tidbits
issue, to interested people (but make sure they don't already
receive it; a lot do!) When doing this, please have the courtesy
to cite your source, perhaps directing them to the tidbits
website (see below.)
Tidbits is intentionally concise, and we know a lot of people may
not understand some items because little explanation is given.
If a particular Tidbit brings up a question in your mind, feel
free to ask, and I will try to answer as time and knowledge
permit.
