Hi John,
Thanks for the explanation.
Obviously this will be one for the "stamp collectors" who like to get
ones with some kind of error or misprint, etc ... :-)
Again well done to all concerned for getting out such a good Issue,
containing both articles and pictures / illustrations in abundance.
I do appreciate what goes in to the production.
Maybe, with the envelope, it had come unstuck, and hence the plastic
packaging with apology from the Post Office when it arrived.
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.
