Bucky Bug - MMA 4 Paper Quality

[David Gerstein]

	Hey Derek,

	Well, we had several requests from several people, but also many
from you!
	In truth, the main reason we haven't been using Bucky is that until
recently, we didn't have the stats to many very good stories with him. Now,
though, we've acquired some really nice ones.
	Mostly they will appear next year, but we did get this one onto the
schedule as quickly as we could, partly with you in mind! (-:

	Some are certainly good. In fact, back in the old Gladstone II days,
John ran a few of them in WDC&S, with Don Markstein creating new English
language dialogue for them. And there's nothing to say we won't do something
like that again, eventually (though not for right now... we're already
scheduled up for awhile, as we tend to plan our issues about eight months in
advance of publication).

	Er, I'm afraid so.

	Best, David
