Administrivia

Having already written last issue's page three before the extent of the lateness of orders became obvious, you didn't have to listen to me whinge. As of Wednesday, this issue, I have all orders except one in Bogachiel River.
In the copy shop last time, I discovered new owners. It sounds like the copier with the electronic access box (and the controller) will be replaced. If, or when, that happens, hopefully, that won't produce a new set of production problems. If your issue looks funny, blame me, with probable assistance from the new machine...
There are a number of Diplomacy events occurring in the near future ( read, this summer ), or, at least I think so. I keep receiving updates' from, among others, Don Greenwood's BPA which are as bad as Peeryblah - or worse - and I just can't find the courage to plow through them looking for a few items you lot might be interested in. Am I correct in suspecting that those of you who are interested have access to the information through other sources?
Enjoy the zine!
