Since all of these are looked at after entry, the fake letters should scrub
themselves out.

Well, you solved that one, so I won't comment on that.

Actually we do want to sell and distribute worldwide, however shipping does pose
a serious challenge. I am looking at some options, but I can't really say
anything at this point.

Hope is not lost yet. By placing your address and country, you'll point out that
international distribution is needed. Up until now, I have been able to only see
the people who correspond and talk to me about subscribing. This  list being
created gives me a lot more documentation as to who wants the magazine. And if a
large number are from out of the US, it opens possibilities.

Out of curiousity, I found TwoMorrow's comic products at MileHighComics.com. Will BrickJournal be distributed by Diamond Comics? I saw TwoMorrows products listed in their Previews comic ordering catalog. (19 years ago, 16-Oct-07, to lugnet.publish.brickjournal)

(...) Can't you just continue to offer a PDF version? BTW, trying to charge, even a nominal fee, for products that have been free for some time probably isn't the best PR move. (19 years ago, 16-Oct-07, to lugnet.publish.brickjournal)
