I hope Nolan expands the publications, and DM> encourages much longer and stronger articles. I'm gonna jump in here and defend my friend Nolan. He has made some good changes in The Braille Forum and it's an informative mag. I knowfrom experience that people do not tend to read and retain from long articles. The reader on the most part does prefer a short article that gets to the point and doesn't drag on. I've been doing newsletters since 1978 and it was true when I started and still is today. The Braille Monitor spends way too much time and goes in to too much detail on things. They don't tone index the tape either because they want to force you to listen to all of every article.
