 What
wonderfully faithful readers! The results of our recent survey on
whether to charge for Bikwil are in, counted and applauded, and
your response has encouraged me to the following decision.
From and
including the next issue (No. 13, May 1999), there will a $5 charge
for a year’s worth of Bikwil, i.e. six issues. To guarantee
your subscription, fill in the enclosed form and return it together
with your cheque. I need them no later than Friday, 9 April 1999,
please. If you require occasional extra copies of an issue (for
bragging purposes, say), the cost will be $1 for each, payable as
ordered.
Among your
complimentary comments were several suggesting that a higher
subscription charge was justified. Thank you, but let’s leave that
idea for the GST era, eh?
Some other
remarks, culled and edited from your replies, are:
“Will
subscribe for 2 copies.”
“Why
not conduct another survey to see if readers will pay more than $5, so
as to offer commissioned contributors a nominal fee?”
“How
about a regular crossword?”
“What
does ‘Bikwil’ mean anyway?”
“More
popular culture stuff, please.”
“Don’t
change a hair of it — between the cracks of the monster pavement of
Life Materialistic a lovely violet is growing”.
