Editor Greg Ettling commends our readers for contributing to the magazine and encourages them to continue.

As is evidenced on this page, you’re sending in more letters to the editor – discussing a wide range of drilling- and ground water-related topics. We’ve had folks asking for the contractor profile forms; people are suggesting article topics; traffic at our Web site (www.drilleronline.com) is ever-increasing, especially for our interactive “Web Poll” section. Our salary survey is on the street (if you receive one, please take the few moments needed to respond), right on the heels of a very successful “Reader Preference” study that got a tremendous response. We’ll publish some of the highlights of that survey in an upcoming issue. We conducted a contractor roundtable session at the recent Michigan Ground Water Association convention. It was our first one and rather small, but it was almost as much fun as it was interesting and useful (another future article). We want to do more of them and obviously a key to a contractor roundtable is having contractors at the table.
