Q: Possible bug in newsletter?

Gaurang TandonFebruary 6's newsletter had my question at the very end of its list (under the section "Can you answer these questions?"): It says, "answered by Oscar Lanzi". However, if you have a look at the actual question, it was answered by "Soumik Das" instead. What is going on here? Is this a bug?

Q: What is resonance, and are resonance structures real?

bonMy teacher told me about resonance and explained it as different structures which are flipping back and forth and that we only observe a sort of average structure. How does this work? Why do the different structures not exist on their own?

Why can't we upload .svg on SE? The size of of a .png image of a mechanism created by ChemDraw and the screenshot of the same were almost similar. Aren't scalable vector graphics better?
