I too disagreed with the look of CACM. Instead of posting, I sent mail to 
Jim Maurer, the main editor. He was very responsive, and I *did* see
changes back last March. Unfortunately, CACM has begun to creep back towards
the "Art Director Gone Wild" look this month.

Send him your comments directly. He seemed to appreciate them. Be specific.
Complain here if he *doesn't* respond.

Jim Maurer's email address is jimm@acmvm.bitnet. (ie. use your local bitnet
gateway, sigh).

Now, the thing I want to know is where to write to get the ACM to take
the Internet seriously. I cannot believe the association that publishes
SIGCOMM (the reason I joined) still uses BITNET. The ACM should be out
front in using the Internet to service its members for dissemination of 
research and educational purposes.
