And if we may engage in a little teary-eyed sentimentalism we'd like to thank some people whose efforts allowed this bastard child of CITR Radio to make it this far. We would, of course, like to thank you, our readers, for simply picking up the magazine. But also for providing support and criticism as the magazine grew. We'd like to thank our advertisers, whose financial support has allowed us to continue publishing without applying to the CIA for funding as a front organization. Thanks to everyone who's ever submitted anything to DISCORDER, whether we've used it or not. And Special Thanks to Mike Mines and Jennifer Fahrni, who founded The Rag, and to Michael Shea, Jeff Kearney, and Fiona MacKay, who edited it along the way. Now that that bit of gushing is done with, you may turn the page and read the rest of the paper. DISCORDER a guide to CITR 1m 102 cable 100 February 1985 .AT AMERICA'S 10NCH QMS.
