In some ways, The Flame Of The Week (FOTW) a misleading title -- as we don't always get around to posting a new flame every seven days. Any delay, and we get accused of losing our nerve.

That ain't so: we simply don't get enough interesting flames to merit publication each week.

This is not a call for spoof messages.
