I fully agree with every single point Peter outlines here.
1. S&S became obscenely unreliable, (a) in their obligation to provide issues to paid subscribers and to newsagents, and (b) in their communications with their customers. They treated their customers with contempt and I hope it never surfaces again.
2. The fact that the S&S website has not changed or been updated in over 2 years shows how interested they are keeping the local community informed of their presence.
3. What ever you may think of the content of AS&T, I believe it is by far the best publication we have seen in this country. And yes I have been critical of the US/local content in the past, also.
4. AS&T is on my newsagent's shelf within days of that same issue arriving at my local telescope dealers.
5. When I started in the hobby 25 years ago, the only two magazines I could get were S&T and Astronomy, and they were by subscription only, and only then did they arrive 2-3 months behind the issue date. We are very fortunate these days.
