I think they may have figured out that instead of dealing with the non receipt issues so many people are having they should just sticky the darn things at the top of the X forum.
Between various email filters, obscure or quirky service providers, maintaining and (hopefully) securing a recipients list it does seem much more logical to just post the darned thing every month. I actually prefer it because I hate checking my email. Don't know why... I just do. Probably because I used to answer sometimes hundreds a day in a previous life.
Whatever... VIVA LA NEWSLETTER STICKIES!!!!
