Readers are encouraged to email questions and suggestions for inclusion in updated versions of each paper (i.e., the paper ceasess to be a static entity but may change with time and input from both the author and others). The additions of such "peer discussions" should allow clarifications and improvements to a paper in a way that can be superior to anonymous "peer reviews" where anonymity sometimes invites abuse of the review process.
