	Analog and STLog are gone.  For sure.

	The December issue of Analog would have been laid up in late
September, articles and editorials should have been finalized by early
to mid September.  That was the typical lead time when I wrote stuff
for STLog.  (Article lead times are sometimes much longer, STLog sat on
one of Dave and my articles for 18 months before it ran.)  In September
LFP still planned to continue publishing Analog/STLog so why would they
announce the folding then?

	Magazines rarely announce they are ceasing publication, simply
because they can't.  By the time they know it there is no way to
include it in the final issue.  (Look at what happened to PC-Tech
Journal last spring, the last issue had a list of articles that would
be in the next issue.)
