Ok, I can follow the arguements on font selection and on an over
abundance of graphics, but "trouble finding the table of contents"?  I just
looked through CACM issues 8/90 - 5/91.  The table of contents is always 
on page 3.  There is a heading that says "Departments" and it tells where
the Forum and the Calendar are.  Now, that table of contents may not be
printed with the best fonts mind you, but it's not like they are changing
location with every issue.

Hey, if you don't like it, but you won't tell ACM you don't like it, don't
complain.  This is like several friends I have who feel it is pointless to
vote, but still feel inclined to complain about the way things are run. 

As someone pointed out earlier, ACM is a volunteer organization.  If you
don't like something bad enough, volunteer to help change it.  This could
be as simple as really digging into an issue of CACM and detailing what
you don't like and how it could be changed.  Just saying, "It's ugly" or
"I don't like it" doesn't mean a whole lot.  Saying, "The typeface used
in the table of contents" is much more helpful.
