What is it about magazines that people can't cope with them being a little late before they start bagging them, are they so addictive that the readers go into withdrawal and their fingers start shaking over the keyboard.

I think its great that a minority hobby has two local magazines. I have been involved with ham radio and hobby electronics for many years and have seen that field reduce from four to one (with no ham radio mag other than the Institute one). And they suffered from the "why is it late" problem from their readers.

I have also been involved with club magazines where everybody wants a mag but nobody wants to contribute anything.

I'm just glad to have some local mags with southern sky content which I can buy at half the price of the northern alternatives.
