Hi John --

>>
As far as the API issues goes, and other developer topics, keep in mind that VBPJ has 80+ pages to work with. FPA only has 52, including the front and back covers.

Hmmm, a recent issue here has 128 pages. Of course, probably 52 of them are ads.

VBPJ probably has a circulation of 30,000 or so. It may be higher. FPA only has a circulation of 8,000 or so. The economies of scale may be different.

Are different. VBPJ's *paid* circulation averages roughly 125,000, last time I looked (about eight or ten months ago).

Until FPA gets the advertising/content ratio corrected, the magazine is doomed..

Don't forget that it'll need readers, too. HTH!
