#Apr. 90 Listings
5 messages in this thread
I'm new in this forum, and am trying to find the listing for the April,
1990 issue, specifically the listing for the articles dealing with neural
networks. Article stated that the listings were available here, but upon
searching ALL of the LIBS, found nothing later than Jan. 90. Can anyone
assist here??
Thanks again for your help!

Kevin,
If you read the older messages on the board, you will find that you are
only the millionth person with the same question. 🙂
Briefly, the listings go from CA to NY by snail mail, and are then
checked against the printed magazine and uploaded by someone for whom, I
gather, it is a part time job. The listings are late. They are always
late. And several dozen people always ask where they are. <sigh>
why not have a subtopic for "late program listings" so the questions don't
get posted in the general topic? THe regulars can switch out that topic.
Or better yet, include a note in the Welcome screen, so people who log in
just to ask about listings will know the current status.

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.
Good idea John. Why not suggest it to the sysops.
