Who Are Those Guys?
Thanks for taking a bit of the sheen off of that self-promoting blowhard, Russ Knight, in your September 25 issue.
A bigger story to explore, perhaps, are the overall changes at WELI. The trusted comfortable station many of us grew up listening to in the morning has suddenly become the repository for canned right-wing nuts spewing their venomous invective, most of which has little or nothing to do with New Haven or Connecticut.
What I still can't figure out is, who do the new managers of WELI supposed their audience is? I, for one, am no longer a member of that obviously shrinking group.

Outward Bound
I applaud .your new format, which seems to offer readers more and better organized articles.
In your September 25 issue, you had a special focus on Milford that highlighted some interesting projects.Do you plan to continue town sections such as these?
- Bill Newman
Trumbull
The editor replies: Yes, organized sometimes by city and other times by region. The October 23 edition will feature a Meriden section, followed by a look at businesses in the Naugatuck Valley on November 6. Later we'll be looking at businesses on the shoreline and upper Fairfield County.
Worthy Subject
Cusiness New Haven had an interesting article covering the September 18 seminar at Yale on lesbians and gay men in the workplace ((September 25).
The subject matter deserves more thorough treatment. Since anywhere between eight and 12 percent of Americans are predominantly gay, it stands to reason that that same proportion of workers is to be found in the “average” workplace. Yet ignorance and misconceptions abound, and many businesses continue to provide a hostile working environment even to some of their best and most committed workers.
For now, the best remedy is to continue to raise awareness, among both gay people and straight, of such issues as wage disparity, advancement potential and fair and equal treatment. Your publication offered a good start, and I hope you will continue to look at this important issue.?

To Our Readers
The volume of calls to our offices regarding subscription information has frankly outstripped our ability to keep readers informed since Business New Haven changed its publication frequency from monthly to biweekly at the beginning of September.
So here's how it is: Yes, we happily offer mail delivery to homes or business (indeed, paid subscribers are among our favorite people in the world). The cost is $32 for one year (26 issues), and $48 for two years. Those prices represent a savings of 18 and 38 percent, respectively, off the publication's newsstand price of $1.50. Just call us at 203-781-3480 and we'll be happy to accommodate you.
Business New Haven welcomes letters to the editor pertaining to subjects written about in these pages.
