:) Thanks, Steve. But the only fault of the editor was her lack of interaction skills. It wasn't her fault, after all, that Linux Journal ran out of money. Instead of hiding that unhappy reality from their authors, she should have let us know that the ship was sinking.
However, this is not the adversarial environment which we found ourselves immersed in years ago. This is just, you know, just the way it is. As to your offer to reimburse one and all FRIAM contributors at a rate of $0.02 per article, I accept! Thank you! Enjoy the whiskey tour. --Doug Oh, well.
