Somehow I think you misunderstand the role of an Editor, a Contributing Editor and a Technical Editor...

What the magazine costs, how often it is published, how many articles it contains, what the copyright looks like, what is provided on the web, how the web interface is designed, what an author gets paid, whether or not there are extented articles available for download, how much time it takes from releasing an article to Advisor until the issue appears, how long it takes to ship an issue to subscribers....

For all these things, it's Advisor who is in charge, not the editorial staff. We can make suggestions, we can discuss ideas with them, we can try to convince them, but we can't demand these things to happen.

Please do us a favor and send these comments to Advisor. It's just like posting bugs here on the UT. Microsoft, Advisor, and most other companies don't read these threads. While now we all know what you think, it doesn't change much this way.
