Renewed interest

Time to roll out the old "people don't know what their missing till it's gone" cliche. It's not even that appropriate actually but it seemed like a good intro for a link to increasingly frantic efforts to save Mega-Aine. Bizarrely rock climbing pages have had no such response.

Anyway those at vegetable revelution have began a protest, or at least one new member claiming to be WLW has. Is he/she? Seems dubious, their is a backchat blog roaming around this site apparently edited by an ex-editor too. I can't imiange it will survive on Teletext, though after it tansfered to digital teletext I thought it might. It may survive on line, after all their have been numerous attempts to start a zine website, most, in fact all, are now defunct. The vegetable revelution fourm mainly reprints the letters on teletext. The paramount mailbox has made a decent fist of it, although contributions seemed to have decreased somewhat.

Their was probably a slight drop in quailty recently anyway, though I'm told the golden days were well before I had access to teletext. In the thread I link to their is a worringing mention had mega-zine has ended early, publishing it's final message today. I havn't checked yet,as my remotes died-hopefully some sort of error. Only because I want a letter published, being the vain but lazy person I am i havn't done it yet. Also the I link to a spefic thread as one person sums up my grivence with digital televison far more succiently than I ever could.
