Although the the warning signs were there, it is still a shock when the possibility becomes the reality. I must say that I really was impressed with Mr. Donovan's sincerity and that of his staff. I corresponded quite often with them and was always treated with the utmost respect and kindness. <br /><br />When I first saw the magazine itself, I wondered how anybody could put out such a quality publication and still survive. The paper alone must cost a fortune and to print and ship a beautifully-done full color magazine like that would necessitate charging more than many people could afford to pay. <br /><br />I sincerely hope they are able to reorganize and if they do, I would suggest trying to put out the hard copy (I really do like actual paper...goes with old age, I guess) in a much less costly form. Elegance is great, if it doesn't drive you broke. <br /><br />I'm sure there were other problems, also...along with what seemed to be a string of pretty crappy luck. I too have read some of the other blog posts, but I decided to reserve judgement for myself and I found them to be delightful people. I wish them luck.<br />Dale R. BottenDale R.
