[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Fergmiester Any publication is only as good as the submissions it recieves. If we want to see what is of value to us then we will have to provide it. Not wanting to sound blunt about it but MR is by modellers for modellers. [/quote] But MR is a business, a magazine produced for profit by a company. Not a club. Not a co-op. If you went to the grocery store and they didn't have what you wanted, would you be happy if they said, "Well, grow some and bring it in"? No. because you are paying for a product. In that case, some sort of vegetable. It is a cop-out for a large publisher like Kalmbach to charge $5 for a periodical and then tell us it's up to us to send in material for it if we want to see good articles. That's not my job. Solicit new writers; solicit article from established writers; use in-house talent. But don't make it my problem if your magazine for which you charge $5 needs better material.
