TO THE EDITOR:
I am writing to you as a long time reader of your newsletter. I have been an avid reader, dropping whatever I was doing when SINCUS NEWS came in until I had read it front to back. As Editor of our local user group’s newsletter, THE PLOTTER, for almost 3 years, I am always looking for good material and articles. I have used several of Paul Hills’ cartoons and some other items from time to time in our NL. I had hoped to continue to use your NL as a source of info and material for a long time (or as long as you continued to publish it).
That may change rather quickly if the issue I just received is any indication of things to come. (The Jan/Feb 1986 issue). I could not and cannot believe my eyes! I have bad eyesight and have had some problems with a few newsletters in the past. I am going to give my own personal award for THE LEAST LEGIBLE, LEAST READABLE NEWSLETTER that I have ever seen, to this issur of SINCUS NEWS. If the new format is going to stay, then, as far as I am concerned, it will no longer be read by me nor will it be a source for our group to look toward for information. I am not speaking as Editor of THE PLOTTER, as I stepped down from that post last month. I am speaking for the new Editor and we are both going to miss your informative publication. Not only is the 64 character column too small, but the issue I received must have been copied on a copier that was on its last legs.
I wish to say that I have enjoyed your newsletter in the past and sincerely hope that I will be able to do so in the future.
Thanks for reading this.
Sincerely,
Rod Gowen, Treasurer/Librarian CCAT/S
