I want to give a <FONT SIZE=+2><STRONG>big thanks</STRONG></FONT> to our
|
|
authors this month for giving us such a substantial issue. This issue has
|
|
almost twice as many articles as last month, and I learned a thing or two
|
|
from some of them.
|
|
|
|
<P> This issue is a little milestone for me. It marks my first time publishing
|
|
an ezine without outside help.
|
|
|
|
<P> Dealing with the one letter where we didn't have a common language to
|
|
communicate with got me thinking about my interest in
|
|
<STRONG>Esperanto</STRONG>. Because if we all had a common, simple auxiliary
|
|
language to fall back on (one much easier to learn than English!), these things
|
|
wouldn't happen. Are there any <EM>Gazette</EM> readers who speak Esperanto?
|
|
If so and you'd like to chat, write me. <EM>Cxu estas iuj ajn legantoj je la
|
|
</EM>Gazette<EM>, kiuj parolas Esperante? Se jes, kaj se vi volus babili,
|
|
skribu al mi.</EM>

Have fun!
