Are you SURE Analog is going under? If they knew about it a month or two
in advance, couldn't they at least publish an editorial in December's issue,
take out the subscription cards, and purge the parts that say "Authors:..."
You know what I mean?

In addition, The old Analog may have been hurting for advertisements, but in the combined Analog/Stlog the ads were plentiful. Who knows, Maybe they're reconsidering not stopping publication. But there are confirmations on Delphi (as of a couple weeks ago) stating that the December issue would be the final Analog.

Analog and STLog are gone. For sure. The December issue of Analog would have been laid up in late September, articles and editorials should have been finalized by early to mid September. That was the typical lead time when I wrote stuff for STLog. (Article lead times are sometimes much longer, STLog sat on one of Dave and my articles for 18 months before it ran.) In September LFP still planned to continue publishing Analog/STLog so why would they announce the folding then? Magazines rarely announce they are ceasing publication, simply because they can't. By the time they know it there is no way to include it in the final issue. (Look at what happened to PC-Tech Journal last spring, the last issue had a list of articles that would be in the next issue.) Dan Moore AT&T Bell Labs Denver dlm@druwy.ATT.COM
