Didi,
I'm not ignoring it -- but it has been produced at a "last minute rush" once again and I have lots in my inbox requiring attention.
I hope to be able to give it my proof-reading pass later today and I assume you wish to release / "publish" it early tomorrow?

I know. I was just swamped with work, hopefully when I finish Uni (one month to go) this will become better and I don't have to do 4 assignments in 1 week. I am really sorry. I need to put appointments in my calendar and stick to them.

You can still do that now. So maybe not all the people that read it get such a bad impression. :)
Cheers Didi

Everyone has certain priorities and it's clear what your current major one *must* be. :-D So please, don't apologise. ;-)

I'm sure that what's there is in good condition, anyway -- consider my actions to be more of a "polish and shine".

All,
Sorry for the delay but, two days later than intended, I have finally finished my polish of the current issue of the newsletter.
I *think* I've now got it "sparkling". :-)

I am not very happy with how this release has been pushed. Proov-reading should be done in forehand, not afterwards.
I would also prefer if the articled are added on-time and not just shortly before the release. In the past I have also used the 'template' for the upcoming version as scratchpad where I was working on articles nearly 'live'.
Just my few cents.
Marcus

Agreed, Marcus. But let's just regard the events surrounding the production of the current issue as a "one-off" and learn from it.
As we all (now) know, Didi had other rather pressing commitments.
Alan.
