5 July 2008: A note from the Editor.

From now on Ygdrasil's guidelines are such: Submissions, Ascii text in the 
body of an email unless otherwise requested - special issues can be negotiated 
as to other formats. Currently I receive up to 200+ submissions a week. 
Since I have full-time daily job and I have no staff, this is very difficult
to handle. On top of that I have been quite ill this year. So, I 
request your cooperation as I will no longer reply to each submission, but 
request that if your submission has not been published in the next three 
issues, please either resubmit or submit elseware.
