Fabien and Randall, I noticed gambasmag.com is down. I can ping it but 
nmap only returns 4567/tcp. Does it reside at a new location? Also, how 
should I format the article, or is it a Wordpress site or similar? 
Lastly, would you prefer the articles to be divided into different 
topics or a single large article covering all topics?
