Newsletter Problems

You may be wondering why I haven’t posted for over a week. The time I normally use to write blog entries has been spent on the newsletter instead. It’s been a terrible experience. I was very disappointed with the printer I had selected for the job. I’ve switched print shops, but production has already been delayed.

Everyone who ordered the April issue will still receive their printed copy via mail. I have also decided to send each subscriber a PDF file with the contents of the newsletter. There are a couple graphical problems with the PDF; but, they are limited to pages 11, 12, & 13 which contain statistical summaries rather than text.

I’ve sent an email with the attached PDF to each subscriber. Unfortunately, I had to use the emails from the payment receipts. If you’re anything like me, you get too much email at your main address, so you have a second email address to use for online payments, subscriptions, etc. If that’s the case, please let me know where you’d like the PDF sent.

I know a PDF is not the same thing as a printed, bound copy. However, it is the best I can do today. Subscribers who would like to see the contents of the newsletter without having to wait for the printed copy should check their email right now. There should be a PDF waiting for you. The newsletter runs 48 pages; 46 excluding the front and back covers.

Subscribers should feel free to email me about the newsletter, the PDF, etc. I will be happy to discuss any questions or concerns you have about all this.

I know some of you have probably emailed me about the newsletter within the past week. This printing problem has consumed all my time. I apologize for not responding sooner. I’ll spend tonight working my way through the backlog of emails (from least recent to most recent). Anyone who emailed me this week should hear back from me tonight.

Thank you for your patience.
