Again?
I just made it half way through 4:12!
Re:Again?
It’s been two days short of a full month! That’s about as long as the intervals will ever be–well, except for a possible 5 to 8 week interval between the end of Volume 4 and the beginning of Volume 5.
Look at it this way: At least this one’s only 20 pages. And you have an almost-ironclad promise that the early pub. date does not mean another extra issue is on the way!

“I don’t have a blog“
Re:semantic dance
Not a semantic dance at all–or maybe it’s that I think semantics do matter at times. I started the journal, which is a tiny portion of the LISNews site, partly as an experiment to see whether a blog would make sense. I’ve concluded that it wouldn’t, based on experience with the journal.
In the library field, at least, I can cite several differences: LISFeeds doesn’t include journals, neither of the library weblog sites include journals, the blog on library blogs doesn’t announce new journals… they are, at best, “blogs lite,” as I’ve said elsewhere.
If you choose to call my journal a blog, that’s your privilege–just as some people want to call my zine a blog.
