Prior to this transition, our newsletters were coming in at about 650KB each week.

So on Thursday, February, 13, 2025, when we found ourselves pushing up against 650KB once again, we decided enough was enough, and converted the newsletter from an email client and online newsletter, to a purely online newsletter.<o:p></o:p></span></p><h2 style='mso-line-height-alt:18.0pt;max-width:100%'><span style='font-size:20.5pt;font-family:"-apple-system-font",serif'>What Does This Mean?<o:p></o:p></span></h2><p style='line-height:18.0pt;max-width:100%'><span style='font-size:14.5pt;font-family:"-apple-system-font",serif'>This means that you will no longer be able to read the entire newsletter directly inside of your email client each week. You will now need to read the newsletter in a web browser each week. The version that you receive in your inbox will only serve to provide you with a link for your clicking convenience.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='line-height:18.0pt;max-width:100%'><span style='font-size:14.5pt;font-family:"-apple-system-font",serif'>For any readers that might be screaming right now, we hear you.

I do apologize if you’re not one of them, but I assure you that reading the newsletter in your web browser of choice each week will provide you with a much better reading experience, especially if you use assistive technology, than was being provided by your email client.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='line-height:18.0pt;max-width:100%'><span style='font-size:14.5pt;font-family:"-apple-system-font",serif'>This is a blanket guarantee that will now be enjoyed by readers all over the world, and as such is one of the primary reasons that I am most excited for this change.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='line-height:18.0pt;max-width:100%'><span style='font-size:14.5pt;font-family:"-apple-system-font",serif'>Still have questions?
