[SCA-AE] Deadline extended: TI Editor and Art Director

[Ruth Morrisson]

Greetings from Myfanwy!
Sigh.  That would of course presume that we all were *getting* it.  :-(
With the USPS and the Registry Office pointing fingers at each other as  
to who screwed up my mailing address, I may never see a TI again.  Or  
an _Æstel issue_.  Or a CA (I've actually stopped caring about _The  
Acorn_, since I don't really seem to be going to events in Atlantia  
anyway).  I *did* have to explain to a postal supervisor that "Yes,  
_Æstel_ is a newsletter, but *yes* I've paid for first class postage>"  
-- it doesn't seem to have done any good.
