   I in principle follow this guideline.  I must omit many of very inactive
dwarf novae (just like PQ And, LS And etc.), with infrequent inclusion
of them.  I in principle include, other than dwarf novae, other cataclymic
variables (NLs and post-novae), symbiotic variables and R CrB stars (and
a few blazars and other bizzare objects), which are prone to vary with
timescales of days.
