I would never do that!!! Do I look that violent? :)) No, the two main reasons are that I want first to keep track of how many people actually read the Journal (and I cannot otherwise), but the main reason is that I'm against the use of PDF files in browsing. I find it very user-unfriendly. PDF is for portable documents with a fixed layout and font uses, not for web surfing :) .

Well, the older issues will be available there, and if you have asked to receive all issues of the Journal you'll get the new issues anyway :)) .
