CompuServe Messages

Even better than saying in Compuserve that the listings will be late, how about admitting it right up front–in the magazine itself in that boilerplate paragraph that you put at the end of the articles. If you had told me the listings could be expected in 2-3 months or maybe sometime, then I could plan my afternoon accordingly. It would certainly be in the spirit of the old orthdontist who used to run the place. He'd have said "Real Soon Now," and we'd all have known what to expect.
