The health of the mailing list

[randy_byers]

We've already gotten four emails of comment on Chunga 12, including a surprise letter from Mike Glicksohn. He had said he was putting fanac on hold again while he dealt with cancer that has spread from a ureter to, I believe, the bladder. We managed to jolt him into action, however, partly by calling him an American. Ha! The greatest insult these days. He reports that he had another biopsy recently but hadn't gotten the results back when he wrote the letter. Hope it's good news.

But my thoughts are also with rich brown, who was hospitalized on Memorial Day and has been seriously ill from a variety of things and continues to get worse. The latest news from his daughter, posted to a list yesterday, is very bad. He had gone into respiratory failure and came close to cardiac arrest. His kidneys were also on the verge of failure. Hang in there, rich, or go in peace if that's what needs to happen.

It's just weird that last ish took two weeks to get to Britain, and this ish got there in less than a week!

Be grateful it got here at all. One Critical Wave mailing to the US vanished completely.

A copy has found it's way all the way to Finland, too. Ever increasing the number of wonderful fanzines I keep getting while doing next to nothing in return. If someone is feeling guilty for not loccing the last time, I feel absolutely gutted for not loccing since... I don't even want to think about it.

But I read them! Thanks again!

I think we're still making up for not adding you to the mailing list right away after you locced us early on!
