Thanks for all your help on the issue, Bill--not to mention sharing the announcement here. Your interview is the highlight!

Richard, couldn't see how to send an email to you, so I'll say it here. Terrific issue! I went back and bought #4 as well. Both in Kindle addition. Thanks to Crider and James Reasoner for touting your publication. Now I'm hooked. Thanks!
