Shades of the EIM long-running joke interludes for "Perpetua"....

G'day,

I agree, they spread the projects over years where they think that they can get 
away with it.  It's not so much the number of episodes but rather the system, 
for the first few you get one every issue, then they start to spread them out 
thinner and thinner......

AME hasn't been afflicted with this disease yet. They have had multiple issue 
projects but they seem to give you a part each issue - even Edwin only went to 
about 5 parts, and a couple of follow ups.

David also seems to be also divesting himself of a fair sized library recently, 
maybe he's had enough of model engineering ?

cheers,
Bob
