Right now I have a manilla folder. Whenever something like this comes
through, I print it off and stick it in the folder.

On my list of things to do after getting some sleep is a fairly large
re-work of the FAQ, and all these comments will be included. As I
start that, I was thinking of setting up a Jitterbug to record all
these suggestions.
