Then the March issue should be the April issue, and the April issue should be the May issue and so on.

There's no law on when newsletters have to come.

Your argument is irrelevant...you only "lose out" once, if that's the way you want to look at it. You still get one newletter each month, irrespective of the date on it. And as you weren't around for the first ever publication, you never "lost out".

Newspapers don't have tomorrow's date on them, why would you put next month's date on the newsletter?

The newsletter is always published around the 20th of the month, which is enough time to have collected most of the important details for that month together. We're not a magazine, so we don't slap a date 1-2 months in the future on the front! and equally we don't have a crystal ball, so we cannot release a newsletter at the start of April telling you what is ABOUT to happen.

No-body looses out because the newsletter has always come out at the same time each month - if the date varied, then perhaps they would. But, give or take a few days, it doesn't. It's the equal time between issues that counts, not exactly WHEN it hits the (email) box.

With our species on the edge of extermination,
with no prospect but a horrible death,
we actually played games.

Tell me about it! They used to get back on track by adding a Christmas issue, but this doesn't seem to happen now.

Are they every 4 weeks, or are they now just consistently 2 months ahead?

OMG the date on my telephone is set to today, but in Asia it is already tommorow. My phone must be faulty.

What I ment was that it should come at the middle of the month instead of the end.

The middle of a month is the 15th. Thats only a five day difference from 20. You cant wait 5 days?
