Any magazine needs advertising to help foot the bills. But, no magazine should become strictly a vehicle for "selling more pages". In many of the magazines I read (especially computer magazines and Mother Earth News) I get as much or more from the ad pages as I get from the editorial content. I had not bought a CP for a while. Then I picked one up last fall. I was apalled at the fall off of signal:noise. I won't soon buy another. ENJOY!!! -- Uncle Dirty Dave's Kitchens Home of Yaaaah Hoooo Aaahhh HOT Sauce & Hardin Cider
