<P>
Dear Readers,
<P>
It is with regret that I announce Silverball News and Views (SNV)
will not be publishing again in the near future.  
Unfortunately, I have found that I do not have the time required
anymore with my family and occupational obligations and my desire to
play pinball occassionally.  Additionally, with the recent 
events (Stern buying Sega Pinball, Williams stopping production of 
all pinball machines) and my inability to report them in a timely
fashion I feel that I can't live up to what I want the magazine
to be.
<P>
Perhaps SNV will be back in a modified format at some point 
perhaps not.  Until then I ask that <B>you</B> do your best 
to contribute to the hobby in constructive ways.
<P>
For now, SNV will remain at this location until the web space
provider decides to remove it.  
<P>
It has been enjoyable and I wish you all the best of luck.
<P>
Sincerely,
<P>
