No email but brilliant newsletter - from what I've read - about half of it really before I disappear to hozzie - will finish when I get back.

Thanks to all for their incredibly hard work - it's really appreciated!

Another masterpiece has been created! I'll read it all when I get home from work - yes I'm taking a well earned break (honest)

Thank you for publishing my bit *blushes*

What I'd like to know is where did you get the picture of me? I thought I paid enough to keep it from going public!

Well done

you had to have signed up for the email reminder to get an email....

but the good news is, you can still sign up for it with our NEW reminder service. Found out our ISP doesn't allow more than 10 addresses in the Bcc line of an email. So we couldn't keep everyone's addresses private since you'd be able to see them all in the header if we put them in the To: field.

So if you've previously signed up for the email reminder, please do it again on the new one (it'll have a Bravenet insignia) Thanks!

Oh and Andrea, the reason you were seeing the April issue is because your browser had that in its cache. Just need to hit reload to see the new one.

Glad you guys like it!

Okay, now that you guys have seen it, do you have any suggestions to add or change anything?

(and don't worry, I'll be making it so to get to the newsletter itself the movie won't always load. Just wanted to make sure it was seen to begin with)

Nice job guys! It looks great, although I haven't yet had time to read all of it.

BTW, you can use my whole last name if you like. It's not a state secret or anything (although I do often use VanH. as an abbreviation for my last name myself).

Specially Minsky. Fantastic.

Minsky thanks everyone for their kind words, and purrs vastly. :-)

I haven't finished reading it yet, but I've been sneaking the odd article in five-minute breaks and it's great so far!

Fantastic job! Only minor quibble is that it left loads of windows open, which I find eats up my bandwidth, but otherwise brilliant. Some great writing too!

well, you're supposed to close the window when you're done reading it! LOL

PSD, when you read a newspaper, do you lay it all out in front of you spread out all over the floor of your bedroom?? I certainly hope not! hehehe

Granted - but opening windows is just the same as pulling out each individual page! It's only a preference, not a criticism, lol!

I haven't quite finished reading this issue of WN but had I thought I wanted to share.

From what little I know of Jasper Fforde (a great deal more than I used to thanks to the Fforum) he seems to be witty and generous. The same can clearly be said of his fans. Thankyou to everyone who works on WN, it is brilliant fun. I look forward to finishing this one and catching the next one.

«Wizards and Muggles: Can't We Just Get Along? by renowned psychologist, Beatriz Carlander, »

Who wrote this?
Is this a hint?

HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE

I think it's got Ben's mark ;)

I LOVED IT!!!!

One glitch: apparently my poetry page is weird, the main page is blank and everything shows up in a column to the right....
Is it just me?

wondered how long it would take you guys to catch that LOL...and NO, it wasn't Ben

hehehehehee

and for the poetry page, I'm not sure what's going on...there should be 2 columns of stuff...a big poem by Jon then a bunch of little ones but the rest of us.

What browser and operating system do you use? If I have that info, I can check it out a little more.

YAY Twila!
I really thought it was great :)

I just said it was great because I thought he was the only one who knew my name (the correct spelling lol)

Hmmm I just checked this at work, Windows 2000... I'll check at home later, see if it's the same
