In our last editorial message we listed the countries which have LINGUIST subscribers, and the number of subscribers each country is supposed to have. Unfortunately, the software which generated the list had a bug which caused it to ignore all countries beginning with A and the first which began with B. Software is a wonderful thing... Having fixed the bug, we felt that the least we could do is send out a (correct!) listing of how LINGUIST subscription is distributed around the world. Our apologies!
