Ah!   I think some of the problems are solved!

Yeah, they do pile up .   At one restaurant I frequented, the waitresses 
learned to bring me extra napkins when I arrive with an envelope of 
drawings.

So perhaps we need someone who will concentrate on the web page, and
not on the submarine part of it?   Let me think about this one.

In Morris's biography of John Holland, it's reported that JPH would stay

he and an engineer would make changes to the blackboard version, and
transfer the changes to the paper for the next session of discussion.
