Apparently you have to TELL our reader(s) in the lettercol when a new issue goes online. Can't just assume they'll try linking to the cover page URL or to 'index2' every few days. ::)<br><br>Geez, I should start making picks for May lest we end up skipping another month ...<br><br>Robert M.

... but you didn't notice Issue 101's debut and you FAILED to announce it on behalf of the frazzled and discombobulated Editorial staff. (This is called 'blaming the victim'. It is usually preceded by a lengthy exploration of why the current generation has it So Much Easier than the speaker, so if HE managed to get rich (using slave labor to clear-cut and strip-mine nature preserves), THEY should be able to do the same without any of HIS hard-earned (tax sheltered) money.
