...making Linux just a little more fun!

### A couple of small suggestions

First off, TWDT is no longer TWDT. If you click on TWDT you find that the mailbag has "Thread continues here" links. Could we make TWDT be TWDT?

Secondly, we have the answers to last month's geekword. It would be nice to have the questions with it, so anyone that wants to admire the subtlety of the clues, or pick nits, don't have to flick between windows.

Admiration of subtlety? Are we talking about the same author/puzzle?

While I did not design the geekword as it appears now, I assume the previous puzzle's clues were not included as no newspaper does so (space is too valuable in print).

However, I do like your idea and, time permitting (key point), I will try adding it to the formatting for the coming issue. However, if I am crunched for time and have only an "ok" layout then I will save it for the April LG.

Thank you for your input,

Reasonable - I'll add it to the ongoing projects page as something for the Python team. Thanks for calling it to my attention.
