I wasn't banned but I did have one of my messages deleted, and a very
stern rebuke from Allan.

In it I mentioned that in late December, whilst most of us subscribers
were still attempting to download and successfully view the Jan Issue,
a friend of mine had already downloaded a "pirate"  PDF copy and read
it on his kindle.

So much for stopping Piracy.

I tend to agree with you, not only am I unhappy with the change of
direction I am also very disillusionment by the "take it or leave it"
stance and censorship that EPE have adopted over the discussions.

I no longer subscribe to EPE and have also found Nuts and Volts to be
a possibly superior publication, I too am considering it as an
alternative.

Cheers
Chris
