I whole-heartedly agree with this.  I believe we have found The

up "How do I look for a title in a series?" for the FAQ, and also
perhaps send some information to ps-lib.  As you may have seen from a
posting of mine yesterday, I'm eager for us to share the wealth of our
understanding of how this #$$%^&& thing works!
