I can't help to remember that Sam was out of commission for the past 2 issues. Cryptically, JA mentions in the back of the March issue, that 'Sam's Space' will return in the March 2013 issue.

Sam took a short furlough. He will be back in the May issue.

John- I remember the Larry Archibald days, and he was great. But you really blossomed the magazine with a wonderful dichotomy of the subjective and the technical like no other. Yes, there are British magazines and others with 'measurements', but no one else has conveyed the meaning and implications of their measurements in nearly an instructive manner.

Thanks very much. It's been  a labor of love and reflects my core belief that a magazine without measurements is an empty shell.
