[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Allan Miller "From the amount of comercial adverts it must be possible to support a monthly mag financialy." ----------------------- I don't think so. It's one thing for an advertiser to place ads in six or seven issues a year, and quite another to place similar ads in 12 issues a year. That's a big chunk of money, and you're already seeing many advertisers reducing the size or frequency of their ads due to the rather sluggish hobby market in general, which is apt to become even more sluggish as "free" money has to be diverted to gassing up the car or to pay for the impact of oil prices on virtually everything else (even the post office is seeking another rate hike in the near future). Beyond that, who is going to provide all the content needed to fill 12 issues? Everyone likes reading their favorite magazines, but few--very few--are willing to devote the time and effort to writing and photographing articles for these publications. With small in-house staffs, these specialized ublication have to rely heavily on "freelance" contributors to provide the steady flow of material they need. [/quote] Come come now, are you saying that there are very few on this forum who would actually write in articles? What about all the scratch-building that is done in this hobby? 'How to' articles are always interesting, even if just to find out how someone else does it. I've received three mags of my subscription so far and have seen very little in the way of reviews. Is nothing new being tested and reviewed? Don't people want to know the real low-down on new products before they type in the credit card details? If the British counterpart can produce a full-colour issue, monthly, and the US mag can't then... No, no let's concentrate on viability! [?]Would you contribute articles, letters and whathaveyou if you knew there was a very good chance that they would be published?[?] Keep it coming[:)][:)] Matthew [bow]
