Delivery of Consensus online is a complex process involving computers in several U.S. loacations. It also involves each subscriber's unique computer & software as well as internet provider software and systems. Consensus web services department will attempt to offer an explanation for any online incidents that occur through this section.

Finally, tips and suggestions will be offered to help you get the most out of this service.

Q. Where are Barnes Brokerage Co., Inc. and Commodity Insight articles?
A. These two contributors have asked that their articles not be posted to the web site until the Monday following the Friday publication of the paper. Therefore, they are posted on the current issue index on Monday under the heading "Monday Postings".

Q. Why aren't Barnes Brokerage Co., Inc. and Commodity Insight articles distributed throughout the paper according to market?
A. Extensive formatting of the online issue with navigation links takes place as each section is uploaded. At this point in our use of web technology, it would be difficult to go back and reformat the online edition for articles that come in or are posted after the main edition goes up. "Monday Postings" is our current solution.

Q. Why is there a difference between the print edition and online edition coverage?
A. An online edition of any publication is inherently different from its print parent. The online edition of Consensus started with the same basic articles and format as the print edition when the first sample issue was uploaded on March 28, 1997. Over the months of preparation for the secure site offering, the online edition started taking on some unique characteristics. These include:

Delivery of electronic data to subscribers ahead of delivery of the information via the print edition. This has been dramatic for subscribers that have less than satisfactory Postal Service and for overseas subscribers.

Expanded coverage has been made available on specific commodities. Many online articles carry the complete original article - whereas the same article in the print edition has been truncated due to space limitations.

Several contributors now appear in the on-line edition that are not found in the print edition.

Online subscribers have access to a wider variety of Special Reports than are found in the print version.

With the edition of (10/24/97), Mr. Barry Rosen of Fortucast Market Timing, Inc., may be e-mailed directly from his article. This feature is expected to be added to other contributors in time.

Over a period of time, additional benefits of the companion online edition will become apparent.
