1/1, Primer

1. The publication schedule of 1/1 is irregular. This is stated on the JIN
web site and in printed flyers. The most recent 1/1 was mailed in December
1999. As Lydia was kind enough to admit, the issue was delayed about six
months while I waited for her article to arrive. I do not know when the
next 1/1 will be published, as I do not currently have the material on hand
to fill an issue. Any subscriber who is not satisfied with the frequency of
publication may request a refund of the remainder of his or her subsciption
at any time. As othes have said, the best way to increase the frequency of
publication is to submit an article.

2. Re. the Primer and other store orders. Obviously, anyone who pays for
merchandise deserves to receive it, and in a timely manner. My impression
is that most do. I am sorry it is not all. There was a period, around
1994, when things were very badly managed indeed--store orders were just
being tossed into a folder and forgotten, sometimes for months (the person
who had responsibility for managing this aspect of the network had dropped
the ball and was in total denial about his inability to do the job). When I
discovered this situation, I took over the filling of orders, which I did
until fall 1996 when I left San Francisco. Presently, I cannot supervise
the day-to-day operation of the store, as I live and work 40 miles from the
location where orders are received and filled. However, if anyone emails me
about orders not received in a timely manner, I will follow up. (Obviously,
it would be better if no such cases occurred, but good help is hard to
find.) I have received no communication from Paolo, and so am unable to
judge whether his claim is accurate or not.
