 JS>You want to take a guess at the percentage of Forth programmers
 JS>who are members of FIG?  One in a hundred?
 Yes Jerry, I am one of those who have joined FIG just out of loyalty to
 the Forth community. I receive the magazine, glance through it, find
 very little for us novices, then put it away. If I had a choice, I
 would sooner pay my dues to our local BC Forth group, where I learn a
 lot and get lots of help. I would prefer to see the magazine published
 on cheap paper with ten times as many pages, users columns, novice
 columns, questions and answers columns, gripe columns, individual
 guru's columns, news in the Forth community columns, etc. Come to think
 of it, I should be suggesting this to my sysop, Jack Brown. Rgds.
