Hi Malcolm,
Congratulations on being the first one to spot this issue's "deliberate"
mistake!!
I cannot account for the damaged envelope (although I have noticed that a
small number of them - all from the same box) has a tendency not to stick
very well. In fact on one or two of them, I actually reverted to sellotape.
Regarding the Issue number, this is more of a problem:
There should be, as you know, SIX issues per Volume. One could argue either
of the following:-
1) Due to editorial problems - covered adequately elsewhere - there were
only FIVE issues to Volume 25 so the last one should be Issue 5
OR
2) As this is the last issue of Volume 25, it should be issue 6.
To be really honest, it is a typo which none of the team picked up in proof
reading and I offer my apologies for any confusion caused.
Thank you for your welcome comments about the content etc and most of all,
for correctly identifying the fact that it is a TEAM EFFORT. Without the
rest of the TEAM, I would have given up a long time ago. I have been
offered - and receive - much support from everyone at QUANTA (including the
membership) and that makes it all worth while.
Thank you - and others for your kind comments. They are much appreciated.
Regards,
John Gilpin.
QUANTA Joint Magazine Editor.

Subject: [Ql-Users] Quanta magazine - Volume 25, Issue 6
Hi,
I have received today - 4th February 2009 - the Quanta magazine Volume 25,
Issue 6, which covers Nov/Dec 2008/Jan 2009.
It is a good read, so well done to everyone involved.
However, I did notice that it arrived in a very battered envelope with an
apology from the Post Office. I do not know if there is any reason for
this.
Also, the previous magazine was Volume 25, Issue 4, Aug/Sept/Oct 2008.
Which suggests that an Issue 5 has been missed out.
I know that with the delays in the magazine production this may be
deliberate. Yet it will also confuse any collectors of the magazine in
the future.
