The History of HWA: April 16th - 22nd

Welcome to another edition of the History of HWA newsletter!

As I mentioned in last week’s edition, Twitter is limiting Substack links in their posts now which means that it’s pretty much impossible for me to share the signup link for this Substack in a tweet. I’ve spent the last week looking for an alternate idea and I managed to find one.

Since I was eventually planning to build out a site hosting all this information and results, the Twitter/Substack issues sped that up. So, I’m working on building out a site with results and notes. I’m hoping to have it up and running soon and once I have most stuff ready to go, I’ll transfer everything there and the Substack bulletins will stop. More to come on that soon.

Until then … let’s dive into another week in HWA history! This week covering April 16th-22nd.
