  As one of the GEnie Forth RT SysOps, and especially as the one who
 does the message porting from alternate Forthnet resources, I am
 usually reluctant to involve my self in debates and commercial
 discussions [ this falls under the latter heading ]. I feel I must
 resond to your preceeding message.
  I just renewed (for 2 years) my subscription to TCJ based on the
 assumption your Forth coverage would continue. I have pointed many
 prospective readers/article submitters in the direction based on its
 grass roots approach ala MicroCornucopia (now defunct) and Art's
 verbal committment to me via telephone that Forth would remain an
 integral cog in the TCJ machine. It was I who sent Dave Weinstein
 in Art's direction. Dave has since taken on new responsibilities
 that precluded his continuation as a TCJ contributor, but you appeared
 to have filled the gap nicely with people like Matthew Mercaldo.
  IF you are, in fact, having misgivings about continuing to devote
 TCJ space to Forth, please tear my check up as soon as it arrives,
 because to do otherwise would be accepting my renewal under false
 pretense. We can then remove this topic we have devoted to TCJ and
 that will be the end of that.
  I am sure I am not alone (the silence not withstanding - Forthers
 are not joiners by nature) in my desire to see TCJ continue its
 Forth coverage, and wishing you success as the new head of what
 appears to be the last true computerist zine.
  Gary
