A magazine exists for one reason...to service it's readership. I do agree with you that how Advisor chooses to run its busines is up to them.

I suppose then it is up to the readership to vote with thier wallets - to not subscribe. However, there is a lack of choice...

Further, Advisor, IMO, is being very irresponsible by rebuffing these comments. IMO, the readership is getting the short end of the stick. I am trying to be an advocate for the reader here....

While we disagree on some points, your points are well taken....

>>Just to reiterate, bad content getting published is NOT an internal magazine issue. You and Advisor owe the readership an explanation for how this happens. For too many months, this has been the status quo. The time has long passed for you to offer up an explanation. Whether it comes from you or Advisor, I don't care. The readership has a right to know...

>Bad content is not your business either. Other than to point out to others the how's and whys and so forth which you have every right to do and which many of us read in order to learn - after wading through your relentless pursuit of non technical issues. Advisor has every right to print their magazine any way they choose, with any content they choose and as poorly as they choose, even if you don't like it.
