David Wilkinson uses up the last few miligrams of toner

As soon as the new Highway Code was published, on 28 September 2007, Mike Collins MA began to apply his formidable mental faculties to a critical analysis of its changes. His results were published in the November edition of the ADI NJC Newsletter, which IMTD (being a member of ADI NJC) received and forwarded to IMTD members at that time. That article ran to 10 pages of quality A4 reading.

Mike sent me his article for inclusion in Master Tutor. Just before this edition went to print, I telephoned Mike and explained that his very worthy article would not appear. There was no one reason, but a combination of three lesser causes which, taken together, prompted my first significant editorial decision. They were:

• that Mike’s article has (in effect) already been circulated to members;
• that that circulation had taken place several months ago; and
• that it would bump up the costs all round.

I can supply a further copy of Mike’s article electronically to any member who contacts me. Mike is also happy to supply copies if you contact him directly.

[Editor's note: The article is now available here on the web site.]

My thanks to Mike, and to all Master Tutor contributors, and to you for reading this.

My closing reflection is that, funnily enough, monthly electronic distribution of the Newsletter would have avoided all three of the lesser causes for not including Mike’s article in this issue. Food for thought.

Time for a change, anyone?
