Right. I thought about putting the tip (etc.) sections on the top 
too, but then I felt pressured to shorten them so the links 
aren't too far away and that felt wrong.

This week's turned out pretty good though, I'm happy with this 
length and order

Right. Sometimes that is hard to tell though - long threads have 
often seemed significant, but ended up going nowhere in the past. 
But that's also the difference between significant threads and 
major changes - the threads are just talk, the major changes are 
based on some concrete step.

The subject of announce posts is often pretty good IMO. I haven't 
felt the need to summarize them much.
