<DIV>Re: John Hartman. You can read his posts from last year in the archives. He quit PTG because of the way he was treated working on the Journal. A notice appeared in the Journal asking for help in illustration which he objected to. He was ignored. Sadly, he has quit all association with PTG over this. He's gone on to do the same kind of illustration work with a woodworking magazine (and getting paid well for it). I don't really know all the fine details about what went down, but suffice it to say we lost a very valuable asset in John. </DIV>
