Expect a backlog of journals

NOTICE TO MEMBERS AND OTHER CONCERNED PARTIES

Over the next few weeks, a backlog of WSFA journals will be published to this site. Management regrets the delay and appreciates your continued patience while normal publishing operations are restored.

In 2022, in order to meet ISO compliance requirements, the Journal master copies were placed into a filing cabinet of non-Euclidean design. Subsequent evaluation indicates that the cabinet does not conform to conventional filing methodologies, including alphabetical order, chronological order, or causality. The cabinet is larger on the inside, contains several overlapping timelines, and emits a low humming sound when opened. We are confident that the missing Journals remain contained within the cabinet, possibly under “J.”

Due to these conditions, journals may be published out of numerical order. Current procedure is to publish recovered material as it emerges, after which a determination will be made as to whether the contents can be arranged in any meaningful sequence.

A subcommittee has been convened to study the cabinet. The cabinet has also convened a subcommittee. Formal negotiations are underway. Field tests confirm that opening the cabinet at an incorrect angle may result in duplicate issues, missing decades, or an unexpected editorial from the 1970s. Further experimentation has been suspended pending review. Please stand by.

Updates:

  • 2025 WSFA Journals uploaded and posted in appropriate time periods
  • 2024 WSFA Journals uploaded and posted in appropriate time periods
  • During routine access in early 2024, the cabinet experienced a minor soft time-jump. As a result, the 2023 journals are currently “present” but not “occurring.” They are expected to resolve into a readable state once observed at the correct angle.
  • 2022 and earlier WSFA Journals are still present in a vague quantum state: you may read them OR know where there are, but not both at the same time.

ISO-9001 requires documented control of records. It does not explicitly prohibit records that are temporally displaced, multiply instantiated, or mildly sentient. The cabinet remains technically ISO compliant.
