For the last year and a half, there has been little time to answer letters that do not relate directly to subscriptions or financial matters. The Correspondence backlog has not grown recently, but it is still there, all sorted, A to Z, and I have begun answering the most urgent ones in the A to F section. Don't give up hope. Send a fax if all else has failed. Faxes somehow get answered. The nuber is 512/929-3995.
