I've written something for Issue 3. Paul Shaw is the editor. I don't know about him, but I don't really feel like part of a repertory company, have no idea who the other contributors are, and haven't even seen issue 1. I thought it was the initiative of John Boardley, who started the I Love Typography blog—a young fellow, I assume.
Paul is knowledgeable, incisive and dogged in his pursuit of the "truth." Cannot think of a person I would have write about me other than Paul, whether it was bad or good.
I exchanged several emails with Paul concerning the naming of Kabel, which I had mentioned in my article for Codex. We were both interested (possibly incisive and dogged) in how it got its name, although the smart thing to do would have been to omit that if we weren’t sure. The truth, as far as we were able to ascertain, was that it was not named after a transatlantic telecommunications cable, but possibly one between Berlin and Vienna used for transmitting graphics, or a cable car cable, or because as a monoline it was cable-like in form. So the “truth”, while indecisive, nonetheless discounts the factoid.
I wonder if the credit card problem has to do with the fact that John Boardley (publisher of Codex) lives in Vietnam? I often run into problems when I try to use a credit card to order something online from a foreign country.
