Our seventh month in existence culminates in a dream we, on the executive staff, have been laboring towards since the inception of 4 Points Press Publishing Company, 4pointspress.com, 4pointspress.org, 4pointspress.net and their Spanish language counterparts. I know we had announced approximately three months back the publishing of our first major endeavor, an E-Novel, "The Oedipus Syndrome" but technicalities beyond our control, namely, further protecting our copyrights, securing our PDF format, setting up our shopping cart system and guaranteeing the safety of our credit card services, all prevented us from going forward with such an ambitious project. Our reader responses have been more than gratifying and more than we had anticipated. We want to thank you all for your patience and your positive support. Most of all we would like to extend our thanks for the some of you for your professional advice on how to effectively bring this project to its fruition. I'm sure the success of our endeavor will soon erase the pain of its development.

All of our by-lines in PRESSPOINTS NetNews are now in place. They will remain as regular features. Reader contributions are heavy indeed and we will try to get as many of you on-line and heard as time and space will allow. We are still committed to improving our newsletter while at the same time maintaining its serviceability and accessibility so that more people can enjoy it. Thank you all for helping our circulation base grow; it benefits all of us.

As subscribers of 4pointspress.com, you can continue to enjoy the escapades of S. Ben Piazza as he travels with his family through Sicily. You can finish The Emigrant's exodus from his beloved Sicily as he starts or ends his life, however you view his story.

Our staff and I extend our sincerest hope that you will recommend this newsletter and our site to others.
