You have got to be kidding. No one else, not even me, has scanned Computist issues since you left. One guy did a HTML index. Nothing NEW was added. Lots of lip service interest, no one wiling to take the time to DO the scanning.

Please son't consider stopping until all the issues are scanned. Even if someone else is scanning them (I've seen no proof of that) you could coordinate and scan any they may not have access to.

Just a thought.

Thankx,

Yeah, I did.  Mainly because of comments like this:

Sounds to me like there are "plenty" (relative to the size of the A2 community, of course) of people working on this. "Jean Pierre" and "Scott" seem to be doing a fine effort trying to coordinate.
