All of
these features were posted during the final four months of 2022. Their
popularity relative to the earlier posts probably reflects the fact that this
Group gained many members during that period. It is unclear whether the posts
listed here were visited because readers were more interested in them or
whether I simply posted them at times when more readers had the leisure to read
them.
