You know, I found some of the responses toward Christopher harsher than his responses. While passionate I still view them as normal spoken critiscism than someone shouting. And I guess that Eric or James also view them in the same sort or they would not have replied as much.
Besides it's allways interesting to view someone else's point of view, that way you might learn something from that persons critiscism (is that even a correct word, cause I'm not sure :p)
You know what? I think I might buy two...at GenCon...Cuz I want to support the company that supports me. They are rare in today's business world.

Maybe you could then send your spare copy to Christopher?
I think Erik Mona did a remarkable job considering he juggled both magazines, but he was over burdened and had a dangerous way of thinking of things at times.I'm sorry I missed this thread until now. I can't argue that I wasn't over burdened running both magazines, but I'm very curious what you mean by "had a dangerous way of thinking of things at times."
Care to elaborate? I am dying to know. :)

That is a story for another thread, and one that I am sure would either bore you or "pander towards my ego." However, one example that you can view in private was my e-mail that I sent you pertaining towards your theory on cover art and how the magazine doesn’t sell itself anymore. That is a small one, but it gives you an idea. I won’t say more here, but you are always free to reply to that e-mail and we can have a conversation :)

After lurking on this thread a few thoughts..
I think in principle Christopher was correct in his viewpoint..but, for myself, getting excited about 5 bucks seems like such a trifle compared to cash grabs TSR and FASA did in the late 80's..
I must admit that I have a soft spot for the current editors here, as I think they have elevated this publication by leaps and bounds, and so I cut them a lot of slack.
Thus, while Christopher in theory was completely valid in his arguements, in practice I want to say just take a pill..
But I don't come here for flame wars, I'll go to reality TV sites for that kind of fun.
