No rest for the wicked : published May 9, 2007

Due to my taking a well earned rest (well, I think it’s well earned), there won’t be anyone here to deal with subscriptions or back-issue orders for a couple of week.

Normal service will resume on 23rd May. Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.
