Just don't look at the Fido Software section...

Roll your eyes as much as you want, but instead of the usual response from the Peanut Gallery, you could inform the list keeper of any errors.

Ironically, he also happens to be the present chair of the FTSC, but you didn't know that either, did you?

So be careful with whom you insult here, claiming that he does not do an excellent job even against all the negativisms like yours and your ilks.

Hey Björn!

Just to clarify for future reference..

So any and all requests for change sent to the 'editor', who is technically the one that can edit any of the pages before they finalize a release of the newsletter, get ignored?

If so, then one can ask are you an actual editor, or just a publisher?

If the column in question clearly states where changes should be addressed, that's about right, yeah.

If I make changes to one of those columns, the list keeper will not be aware of it so that the change will be lost with the next update. DUH!

But this is totally off-topic here, so EOD.

Yep, I could. Pretty good idea what would happen after that.

I certainly did. Perhaps I know him better than you would expect. But
you didn't know that, did you?

Regardless of what *YOU* believe, you don't know everything, and much of
what you do "know" is wrong.

Yes. He's *very* busy, you know. Maintaining that newsletter is a very demanding fulltime job and he MUST delegate such tasks to subordinates.

If so, then one can ask are you an actual editor, or just a publisher?

He's neither. He launches a script (or likely a "batch file") which
takes the various pieces of boilerplate text (that never change) and
stitches them together into one chunk that is then auto-posted. This
takes approximately 8.4 seconds, and has to be done EVERY WEEK. I don't
know how he can manage such a workload.
