Sadly QL Today and QUANTA have both suffered from a lack of copy and Geoff is quite right about the small number of contributors and reliance on them. I would like to spend more time on QL projects but my spare time is all taken up with editorialising (Norman have fun with that word). In response to vanpeebles comment about not knowing what to write about, the next issue of QUANTA will have such a list to give would be contributors that very start. Geoff would probably welcome in QL Today as well as I do for QUANTA, and regularly stated in the magazine, no contribution is to small.
