I was receiving the Rick Moses newsletters for awhile but don't think that I
rec'd any ones in magazine format. A Mr. (Didier?) Dorot (I think) also
produced one for awhile. Are back issues of either of these magazines
available? What about the Aussie one that was mentioned in another post?
Reprinting and selling back issues might be a source of revenue to jump
start a magazine again or (my preference) put towards PDLJMPR.
