I don't know the demographic breakup of BT but I wouldn't be suprised if the static nature of it's subscription is attributable to the oldies hanging in there and the burgeoning youth component ignoring it.

I think that the magazine tried to gain a hold on the youth component and that is just not sound. Bonsai and youth are two words that do not go well with each other. Bonsai requires a true committment to a lifestyle change that many youths are not ready to hand over. With age comes the ability to make this kind of committment. Changeing a magazine to capture a youthful magazine readership is suicide. Bonsai Today, not Teen Beat. Personaly I find that the editing and magazine layout of the old was very good and did not really need its focus there, as Wayne did. I feel that the focus should be on filling the pages with adaquate articles from competant writers. How Wayne does this is anyones idea. If someone has an idea I hope they get it to him soon.
Andy, thanks for taking the time to come by and give us some wisdom. Your preachin to the choir man...
