Wolfgang Bechstein:

You are quite right. I wasted a couple of years on Nota Bene
during a crucial period, and when it became an obvious dead loss, returned to
XY 3. I also got the letter, but the evanescent quality of the
promises in it left no impression. If, as Allan Needell pointed out,
Jeff Ramsay is gone, there is probably no one left at TG reading
the messages on this list. All this suggests the issue is not
niche but energy and business sense.
