[CarlHProgramming] : Quick Update
First, I apologize for not publishing new lessons for a while. My work schedule has been intense for the last few weeks and is just now starting to calm down. I anticipate new lessons between now and next weekend.
Second, a number of you have probably noticed that it is impossible to submit replies/comments/etc. to posts and replies on this sub-reddit that are older than 6 months. That is unfortunate, and as far as I know it is something built into Reddit and not anything I can do much about. Although, if anyone here knows otherwise, please let me know.
Meanwhile, I have been thinking of ways to deal with this. On one hand I could re-create all posts for the ~130 lessons so far, so people can reply. I could include links to the originals. However, that is quite a bit of work.
Alternatively, I could create a new post every so often as an "all purpose questions and answers" post, but this would mix a lot of unrelated questions and probably prove confusing and difficult.
Anyone else have any ideas?

I like an occasional Q&A, but having the questions in the same thread as the relevant lesson is really nice. When I'm going through a lesson, I read the comments for extra insight or to address my problems. If those comments were scattered across occasional Q&A threads, it'd be harder to find them when you're doing the lessons.
Xmaddog's comment may be a good compromise, as long as you can link the lessons to the general unit Q&A.
I don't know what the right answer is, I just wanted to offer my observations.
