A pause

### Four months off, and I will be back in March

Publications usually go quiet without explanation and then reappear apologising. This is a stated pause with a stated end and no apology attached.

#### Why

Because I have written every month for five years and the last three issues were written from obligation. That shows in them.

#### How long

Until March. If it becomes longer I will say so rather than letting it drift, which is the failure mode of every pause like this.

#### What happens meanwhile

Nothing. The archive stays up, support is paused for anybody who contributes monthly, and nobody is charged for four months of nothing.
