It gives the impression that I somehow suppoprt the article, but only wished to add some material. In realty, I think the article is about as sub-standard as you can get, and did my best to correct the record.

I have never been able to read more than three paragraphs of one of Mariam's articles without turning the page, and if the title is one I don't have an interest in, I don't even bother. With MOST other authors, even if it is a topic I don't have much interest in, I will read it. Usually, the article is interesting and informative, and sometimes I can apply the info or a technique to a different subject.

Also, I don't think putting VB articles in FoxAdvisor is advantageous. Either a FP Advisor reader is interested in VB or they are not. If they are interested they can get VBPJ, if they are not, they won't read VB articles in FP Advisor. In addition, as a subscriber, it was a waste of space, I buy FP Advisor for FP info, not to learn, or be convinced to learn VB.

Besides, FP Advisor has become thin enough as it is... two years ago it was twice as thick, and it wasn't more ads, it was more content. Granted they print alot less code now, but I still think the average number of articles and FP info is much less.

Is there really no new FP info to learn, or are people just not submitting articles?
