I haven't seen the trivia section on the update for quite some time now. Just wondering what happened to it? Always loved seeing how much I knew and learning what I didn't. Please, Mark, bring it back!!! Always enjoy reading the updates! Thanks!

It was starting to get very time-consuming to come up with a question every week. The request for readers to submit their own questions was becoming less successful. Rather than submitting the Update for copy editing a half-hour later each week (I'm usually right up to or past the deadline each week anyway), it was expedient to drop the trivia question.
It was difficult to come up with interesting stuff that I hadn't used yet without plagiarizing Dave Smith's four trivia books or Lou Mongello's two. If someone were to hand me a bunch of (non-plagiarized) trivia questions, enough to run for a couple of months at least, I might consider giving it another try, but I just can't write them any more.

Not a problem, just curious! Keep up the great work!
