And now a brief chat with a recent Sustaining Member, Ted R.!
Hi, Ted. When did you start reading TMN? Probably late last year, or the early part of 2021.
What brought you in the first place? A recommendation from my oldest daughter.
Wonderful! May we ask, what do you get out of TMN? I really enjoy the variety of the news articles, the variety of subjects, and the variety of the sources of information. And there is almost always a really fun or interesting article to read, or photos to look at.
We love making this newsletter (and TMN generally) for folks like Ted—and like you. If you have the resources, help ensure the future of TMN by becoming a Sustaining Member or making a one-time donation. Thanks. 🖼️
