        There seems to be an issue with a filter changing the From:
        email address to, oddly, the To: address, causing no end of
        grief for the server. Until I figure out which one is at fault
        so I can properly fix it, I am trying to manually repair the
        affected posts based on raw log files.

        If you send a post and it doesn't appear after two or three
        issues, though, please drop me an email so I can track it
        down and manually insert it.  --cfs3

    Subject:  Cincy Update

    If you didn't make it to the 2010 Cincinnati Old Time Radio Convention, you
    missed a great time.  We had a new hotel this year, which was great and the
    staff was really helpful.  They made everything run smoothly.

    We had presentations and recreations, a busy dealer's room, and a fun trivia
    session.  [removed] broadcast the event live and featured interviews
    with many of the attendees.

    Personally, I got to participate in the Gunsmoke recreation, picked up
    Martin and Terry's Green Hornet book, stayed up late talking with friends,
    and really cleaned up in the raffle (won on a full 40% of my tickets).

    Congratulations to Ken Stokinger for winning the Parley Baer award and Terry
    Salomonson for winning the Stone-Waterman award.

    Next year's convention is already scheduled for May 20-21st.  Make a point
    of attending.

    Subject:  In the Biel tradition, one more standard

    Prof. Biel makes some good points in his recent post regarding academia's
    privilege and obligation in revealing sources of research.  I resonate with
    what he writes and buy into it completely.

    I like his "tests" when examining printed volumes:  acknowledgements,
    footnotes, and bibliography.  They are all high standards on which any
    competent writer should be able to have his work judged authoritatively.

    To this I'd add a fourth qualification:  index.  If most non-fiction volumes
    are missing that one, it tells me the researcher/author doesn't have a whole
    lot of pride in his work.  He's skimming the surface, refusing to do the
    nitty gritty exceedingly tough job of providing a handy reference guide for
    present and future generations.  While this measure may not be a determinant
    in the Biel style on how qualified one is to produce texts, it's a visible
    testimony on just how seriously the guy named on the cover views his work as
    well as how he sees the people who will use it.  Nothing disgusts me more,
    save a bunch of errors, than to pick up an otherwise informative treatise
    and discover the author thought so little of me as to beg off on producing a
    comprehensive index.  (Some try to nod in that direction by adding a couple
    of pages of scant data which doesn't qualify either.)

    One of the first instructions I was given by a publisher eons ago was to
    provide the biggest index you possibly can, including every proper noun such
    as people, places, shows, and general subject areas in which the readers
    have some genuine interest.  The idea was to help the reader in every way
    possible.  I've tried to do this and so have most of my authoring
    colleagues.  For me, it requires an extra couple of weeks of work to
    complete it, but I believe it's absolutely imperative in finishing the job.

    I think a case can be made for considering indexing's importance on a level
    with bibliography and footnotes for they all say a great deal about the kind
    of person a researcher really is.

    Dear Folks-

    Those of you who caught Jay  Stern and I on the Lincoln's Birthday webcast
    of RADIO ONCE MORE (and those who  didn't, too) might enjoy tonight's show
    (Welles' Birthday was just last  week.)

    [removed]

    Final contents hadn't been  locked at presstime, but will likely include
    radio work by Orson and about Orson  - as well as the American debut of a
    recent interview with one of the last  surviving members of the cast of the
    historic WAR OF THE WORLDS  broadcast!

    Neal Ellis and Ken Stockinger put on a good show, and I'll do  my best!

    Hope to meet you there,
    -Craig

    Sharp-eyed Jack French pointed out that I had my winners wrong in my last
    note.  Here's the correct list:

    Terry Salomonson (Dave Warren Award), Ken Stockinger (Parley Baer Award),
    Jack French (Dave Warren Award and Stone-Waterman Award), and Laura
    Jansen (Dave Warren Award).

    Bob Burchett also gave a Stone-Waterman Award to the Crowne Plaza Hotel
    staff and management for the fantastic reception they gave us, and the
    kindness they showed us throughout the convention.

    Photos of the winners are at [removed] .  Also, the flyer is
    already up for next year's convention.  Mark your calendar (does anyone
    have a 2011 calendar yet?) for May 20 and 21.
