I have great admiration for all the work that Pete and his team have done over the years on LT and I have written quite a number of articles for the magazine over the years. However, they have got themselves into an unenviable position at the moment.

I would think that it is very unfair to call Guest Andrew's comments "snide sniping". He seems to be making perfectly valid comments. If the LT team are constrained from producing magazines at the moment, then they should not be seeking new subscriptions and advertisements on their website.

Their last circular which I referred to above indicated that by Mid-March they were hoping that the next issue should now be out by the end of this month. It was not and now we are in the middle of April. Under these circumstances, I feel that by now there should be an explanation to subscribers on the website and by email circular. It is a matter of keeping your customers and advertisers on-side by keeping them informed.
