PUBLISHER'S LETTER
Keep those letters
coming
In the routine of producing SILICON
CHIP every month it is easy to become
disenchanted with the workload and
sometimes we might wonder if all the
detail work is really worth it. This is
especially the case as we get close to
the final deadlines and everything has
to be delivered to the printer. These
thoughts were prompted by two items
of mail which arrived on my desk this
morning. One was a note from a reader which he included with his twoyear subscription renewal. It was just a few words of appreciation about the
magazine and how he enjoys it. The other item was a large postcard from
New Zealand from a reader who had just received one of our project books.
Again, he was very complimentary.
Now both of these items gave me a real buzz. They were timely because
they arrived at the peak pressure time and they were especially appreciated because they give the feeling that the close attention to detail by all the
magazine staff is really worthwhile. To those two readers and all of you who
pass on these remarks of appreciation from time to time, thanks very much.
All of which is a comment on the whole subject of correspondence with
which we have a love/hate relationship. The mail seems to come in waves.
Sometimes we are overwhelmed with the volume of it and wonder what has
moved so many people to suddenly write and order various items, to ask for
circuits and so on. We then have a battle to catch up with it, especially if it
has arrived at close to deadlines and editorial work has taken precedence.
That explains the “hate” part of the love/hate relationship – we hate trying
to catch up with it. At other times the mail might slow to a dribble and we
again wonder why everybody has gone quiet. At those times, we would
“love” to receive more mail.
Apart from giving us a feeling that we’re appreciated, your letters can
help make the magazine better and give you more of what you want. Many
articles and circuits that appear in SILICON CHIP are the result of suggestions
by readers. We can’t always help with your queries but we do manage to
respond positively in most cases.
So please feel free to write in, make comments on the magazine content
or on topics of current interest, contribute circuits for publication or request
information on circuits that have been published. We respond as quickly
as we can and most orders for back issues and other products are sent out
on the same day.
