    Neither Robert Iannello, the publisher of BENCHRACE, nor Rodney Bauman, the editor, come on the HAMB, so I'll answer. I was sort of deputy editor and sometime writer for the webzine during the last few issues.

    The effort was an all-volunteer deal from the start. Nobody was paid anything, and there was never any income of any kind. Robert had hoped that he would be able to sell advertising, or somehow to make the enterprise earn something for the participants, but it never happened, and he finally just decided to stop publishing it.

    Too bad, because I thought we did some pretty neat stuff. There's an issue 13 that was 99% ready to post, but Robert hasn't chosen to do so.
