One thing I learned

[randy_byers]

Finished the printing of AmaZed and CorfluZed last night. One thing I learned is that carl packs a lot of text onto a page of Chunga. When I printed Chunga last year I burned through black toner like it was tinder. AmaZed and CorfluZed used very little black toner in comparison, even accounting for the much smaller print run. I'm not sure that the Chunga layout has less white space than Luke's lovely layout in AZ&CZ either. It's all about the density of the text. I would never have guessed it would make that big of a difference, although carl has long said that he fits a hell of a lot of words into our pages. Nothing like empirical evidence to bring the truth home.

Landed safely, thanks, although I was actually thinking of Chunga: my fault for not being more explicit.

Sorry about that. The next issue of Chunga, with your piece, is still in the works. I was talking about the previous issue, which came out last year.

No problem. At least I was able to confirm Nic Farey is still spreading lies about my interaction with his dodgy toilet lock. Revenge shall be mine.

Vengeance is mine, sayeth the Lord. By the way, I've edited my post to clarify what I was actually printing last night. I could see that it was easy to read it the way you did.

Oh, I'm easily CorfluZed.

Oh, well done.
