I misunderstood, then. Considering a remark that Will had made previously (about comparing only the "active" people on this forum, with the number of total subscriptions to Bonsai Today, and concluding that the subscriptions held by forum members were a very inconsequential percentage) I thought that you were following in that same vein.

If many of the subscribers to Bonsai Today (or any other magazine) are dissatisfied with the content of the magazine, whether or not it is discussed on an internet forum isn't going to matter. They will stop subscribing. And the magazine will go into a tailspin, with more ads to bring in revenue... so fewer articles... more people drop their subs... more ads, less content...

That would be a shame.

Look for my auctions to start again, I've been selling off almost a complete collection of Bonsai Today magazines. I'll start again next week, so check out the "auction" link above.
