My thanks to those who are patiently (and not) putting up with the many problems on AVweb for the past couple months. The new owners changed servers, changed a lot of the software, and more changes are coming. The system is extremely slow, at least for some, and the messages section where readers respond has been very slow and difficult to use. As a result, reader mail has dropped to a trickle, and it seems most just don't bother. I've had virtually no "reader response" mail since the change (hope that's not due to something I did)!
