Q. May I pass on a tip to e-literate readers?

Go to www.dylanmessaging.com. Click enterdylanmessaging.com. There you can substitute your own ten-word message on the series of placards famously held up by Dylan, then cast away, during the video for ‘Subterranean Homesick Blues’. Email the result to a friend who will be delighted to see Dylan himself, so to speak, delivering your message. The service is free.

C.B., Aldeburgh, Suffolk A. Thank you for alerting readers to this charming and original (for the short term) method of communication.
