I thought that was poetic justice. In the front is a little
section dedicated to the typesetter, who recently died.
The first issue he doesn't do has a botched cover.

I talked with Mike O'Dell at the last UUNET open house.
He said these are collector's items. Why anyone would
want to put a sticker on one is beyond me. However,
I suppose the stickers themselves will be collectors items too.

I also pointed out his glaring error in the music issue:
The Grateful Dead were not on a "Reunion Tour".
He seemed to have heard this many times before.
