I received the following press release from the Halvard Castle just now, and am putting it up:
The Halvard Castle Data Network is pleased to announce that a new Defender has volunteered to answer readers’ questions. You are now requested to send in your questions for Halvard Ariba.

Well, then, keep your questions coming.
