Re: [Ql-Users] Quanta magazine Volume 26, Issue 1

2009-02-28 Thread John Gilpin

Hi Everyone,

Firstly, thank you to those readers of QUANTA Magazine who have said how 
much they have enjoyed the latest issues. I still have much to learn about 
the editing side of the publication but I am very pleased to hear that I am 
moving in the right direction. Your comments are important to us if we are 
to provide quality services from QUANTA. Please keep them coming.


Secondly, I am concerned about the damaged envelopes which some of you are 
getting. In order to minimise costs, I buy these envelopes in bulk, and it 
takes about 7 issues to use the quantity. It may be that the self sealing 
adhesive dries out during this period as I have noticed that occasionally I 
get one which will not seal at all - I use additional sellotape in these 
circumstances. I shall watch for this problem and maybe have to use 
sellotape on ALL of them just to make sure. The flap may become stuck in the 
Post Office machinery which could be causing the damage although some have 
commented that the envelope is slit open across the sealed flap (and not 
that the flap is missing altogether.) Please keep me informed of this 
problem over the next few issues - whether yours is damaged OR NOT (to get 
some idea of balance) - it may be worth asking the PO to investigate.


Rest assured that each envelope leaves here in good condition and the 
labelling has recently been changed to enable better printing on the Desk 
Jet rather than the old Dot Matrix which is coming towards the end of its 
useful life - don't we all!?!?


Cheers,

John Gilpin.
Joint QUANTA Editor.

Hi Malcolm,

I received the Friday 27th February 2009 the Quanta magazine Volume 26, 
Issue 1, for February / March 2009.

I received it as well.

Yes, well done - and I prefer to see the ads in "full page mode" again -
excellent decision. And up-to-date :-)

One other point.  Is anyone else experiencing a poor quality with the 
brown envelope used for the posting of the magazine.

Yes, for quite a while already.

My Issue, once again has arrived in a very crumpled envelope, with an 
open slit along the entire top edge ( although the magazine was still 
inside ).  Is this only effecting the London area in the UK ?  As another 
London Group member has had a similar experience with the envelope 
packaging being used, arriving in crumpled state.

This is how nearly all issues arrive for a while.

Jochen

Rich, I may have one among some things that I picked up from a nice US

[Ql-Users] Quanta magazine Volume 26, Issue 1

2009-02-28 Thread Malcolm Cadman

Hi.

I received the Friday 27th February 2009 the Quanta magazine Volume 26, 
Issue 1, for February / March 2009.


Which means that it has now caught up on the gap that had unfortunately 
opened up with filling of the editorial position.


Well done again to John Gilpin for getting this situation back to 
normal. The content of the Issue is also good.  So, perhaps John should 
remain as the Editor - as he is doing the job so well ?


One other point.  Is anyone else experiencing a poor quality with the 
brown envelope used for the posting of the magazine.

Regards to all,

It used to be at http://www.scp-paulet-lenerz.com/smsqe/ but seems to have 
disappeared, although www.scp-paulet-lenerz.com (the business website of 
Wolfgang and his partners) is still accessible.


Marcel's website still lists Wolfgang's site, so I guess we'll have to wait 
until Wolfgang tells us what's happening.
