Copyright and Disclaimer ____________________________________________________ On My End Matt Alberts editor@weeklyb.com In the last issue, I mentioned that I was interested in hearing any ideas you may have. Well, you voiced your opinions and, I was not too surprised. Most of you were not too happy with the "overcommercialized" last issue. Well, I thought I would come back with what a typical issue should look like. This is something that some of you got very comfortable with last year when I was able to keep up with submissions and put out 59 issues. I hope that time will permit me to continue publishing the Weekly Bookmark in the future.
