Well, this explains it. I too had thought TalkMail had died with Bryan. (Not that Bryan died, but you know what I mean....)
I've just re-signed up.
I also dug through the TalkMail archive to catch up on what I've missed, and it looks like some maintenance needs to be done there.
First of all, the most recent issue posted is Dec 7. (Granted, there may have been a holiday hiatus, but certain the talking hasn't stopped on FlyerTalk.)
Second, the posted Nov 22 issue (Issue 2) is actually a duplicate of the first issue. When you click on Issue 2, the table of contents is for the Nov 22 issue, but the actual text of the issue is from Issue 1. Make sense? I wouldn't mind seeing the real Issue 2 at some point.
