You put me in the shade with your generosity. I hope you guys are as kind to me if ever I need it.

I don't think I've seen
the issue so eloquently explained before. Thanks Brian.
In fact this exact analogy happened to me 2 weeks ago - our Sunday paper didn't get delivered.
That day we were down at the newsagent complaining, and we received a credit on our account, and apologies from the newsagent.
I'm sure there are many other similar analogies one could use from real life. eg: buying a foxtel subscription, paying your money and not receiving the set top box for 6 months.
In my opinion, it's extremely unlikely that S&S will return. Lyle seems to be too busy with other business interests right now. Which is a shame for some of the editors who have produced great work. (You can see Ian Musgrave's work at his
AstroBlog).
