July 2003 Newsletter : Edition X The Anti-Government Edition
June 2003 Webmaster gets this one on the website in less than one hour after receiving it in the mail!
May 2003 Brian apologizes for this one being a tad late. He says it was difficult getting a chance to get it printed out. He wanted me to let him know if the small font he is using is working well for OCR. It works OK, except for the commas often make "e". Question marks often make "f". And the underlining just goes nuts. No biggie, except the underlining. So if somebody is writing to Brian, please say Leonard says "Hi". Also, please let him know my new address is 2311 SW Bard Rd. Everything else is still the same. As you might be guessing, Leonard is terribly unlikely to get around to printing and mailing an actual letter. So I con others into doing it for me. It's a busy geek thing. Brian understands. How well he understands.
April 2003 Leonard is very proud that this letter is going on within 3 hours of receiving it this month. Brian tried a different little bitty font this month and Optical Character Recognition had some problems. Well it's poetry, and OCR isn't so bright with poetic expressions. So if you spot some errors I missed in proof-reading, please Let Leonard Know
March 2003 Leonard apologizes for being so late getting this on. I've had the letter for 2 weeks and just now (3-17-03) finally had a chance to get it put on. Us advocates are spread pretty thin keeping more people from going to prison.
