Since more arrive Monday morning than at any other time, I’m asking all Advice Line readers to try to post their comments just about any time other than Monday morning. It isn’t that I’m going to blanket delete all comments without any inspection at all. It’s that I’m not as careful when I have a long list to look at as I am when two or three are in the queue.

A word to the wise and all that …
