[QUOTE="(un)reason, post: 4716022, member: 27780"] Believe me, it does take quite a lot of effort. In rough order, First I skim through the magazine, putting up the titles for each article. (I've actually done this part for the entire run now, so I have it all neatly listed and ready to be filled in when I get that far. ) If anything particularly leaps out at me, then I'll write down stuff for that article straight away.
