I think Diana sometimes overestimates how much people actually want the 
back issues.  Scott has a spreadsheet I sent earlier that shows how much 
people order back issues.  It isn't much, especially by individual number.  
So Diana has literally a hundred or two of these.  I estimate it would 
take about 10 years to sell them all. :)  So I suggested one option would 
be to sell some as a special, but toss the rest.  But it's sometimes hard 
to tell if that's the way it came off.  I was having only her lack of 
storage (and actual sales potential) at heart.  But her reply makes it 
sound like "we don't want them."

She was quite happy to have sold out all the black and white issues last
year.  It would be interesting to find out how many we started with (Neil, 
do you know how many were sent to Diana of each?).

This is, of course, separate from the foreign combo point, which I beleive 
we've resolved.
