I don't want to pay for these ad's anymore... Forgive me for pointing it out, but you're not paying for the ads. Magazines take paid advertising to make money, not to subsidise the advertis= ers. They wouldn't be willing to sell the advertising space unless it paid f= or the extra pages plus the extra postage plus a bit of profit. I think you'd find these magazines would be quite a bit more expensive witho= ut the ads. > Some ad's=20 disguised as "reviews" are sometimes really disturbing: 99% positive=20 comments and then "Thanks to company XYZ for the loan of the plastic=20 gadget..". This is a more serious point. Magazines with a strong sense of purpose will=20= print honest reviews; others will only print the good points because they do= n't want to alienate their advertisers. I get the impression that the Peter Hart reviews are fairly independent. Oth= ers are less so: I remember a review of a book that the RSGB markets, which=20= said that it was superb, wonderful, the best thing since sliced bread. Havin= g read the book I knew it to be well worth reading despite far too many faul= ts which the book editors should have eliminated. This sort of uncritical re= view loses respect for the magazine. 73, Chris Trayner G4OKW ------_=_NextPart_001_01C818A9.A43DAB52 Content-Type: application/ms-tnef; name="winmail.dat" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 eJ8+IgcOAQaQCAAEAAAAAAABAAEAAQeQBgAIAAAA5AQAAAAAAADoAAEIgAcAGAAAAElQTS5N aWNyb3NvZnQgTWFpbC5Ob3RlADEIAQ2ABAACAAAAAgACAAEEgAEADwAAAFJFOiBMRjogUkFE Q09NAJMDAQWAAwAOAAAA1wcKABsADwA5AAYABgBXAQEggAMADgAAANcHCgAbAA8AOQAGAAYA VwEBCYABACEAAAA1ODIwMTdBNDA2MERCODQ0QTNGQzZCQUVDMzZCREUzNgBDBwEDkAYAtAsA ADkAAAADACYAAAAAAAMANgAAAAAAQAA5AFKrPaSpGMgBHgA9AAEAAAAFAAAAUkU6IAAAAAAC AUcAAQAAADgAAABjPXVzO2E9IDtwPVVuaXZlcnNpdHkgb2YgTGU7bD1IRVJNRVM0LTA3MTAy NzE0NTcwNlotNDUwAB4ASQABAAAADwAAAFJlOiBMRjogUkFEQ09NAABAAE4AAK5kHxkYyAEe AFoAAQAAACMAAABvd25lci1yc2diX2xmX2dyb3VwQGJsYWNrc2hlZXAub3JnAAACAVsAAQAA AGMAAAAAAAAAgSsfpL6jEBmdbgDdAQ9UAgAAAABvd25lci1yc2diX2xmX2dyb3VwQGJsYWNr c2hlZXAub3JnAFNNVFAAb3duZXItcnNnYl9sZl9ncm91cEBibGFja3NoZWVwLm9yZwAAAgFc AAEAAAAoAAAAU01UUDpPV05FUi1SU0dCX0xGX0dST1VQQEJMQUNLU0hFRVAuT1JHAB4AXQAB AAAADwAAAEpvaGFuIEguIEJvZGluAAACAV4AAQAAAD8AAAAAAAAAgSsfpL6jEBmdbgDdAQ9U AgAAAABKb2hhbiBILiBCb2RpbgBTTVRQAGpoLmJvZGluQHRlbGlhLmNvbQAAAgFfAAEAAAAY AAAAU01UUDpKSC5CT0RJTkBURUxJQS5DT00AHgBmAAEAAAAFAAAAU01UUAAAAAAeAGcAAQAA ACMAAABvd25lci1yc2diX2xmX2dyb3VwQGJsYWNrc2hlZXAub3JnAAAeAGgAAQAAAAUAAABT TVRQAAAAAB4AaQABAAAAEwAAAGpoLmJvZGluQHRlbGlhLmNvbQAAHgBwAAEAAAALAAAATEY6 IFJBRENPTQAAAgFxAAEAAAAbAAAAAcgYGa5RjkoRbAIoSnGfzpBqpSqS5AAjk5WoAB4AdAAB AAAAHQAAAHJzZ2JfbGZfZ3JvdXBAYmxhY2tzaGVlcC5vcmcAAAAAHgAaDAEAAAAOAAAAQ2hy aXMgVHJheW5lcgAAAB4AHQ4BAAAACwAAAExGOiBSQURDT00AAAIBCRABAAAAawQAAGcEAAC+ BgAATFpGde+bZFYDAAoAcmNwZzEyNeIyA0N0ZXgFQQEDAff/CoACpAPkBxMCgA/zAFAEVj8I VQeyESUOUQMBAgBjaOEKwHNldDIGAAbDESX2MwRGE7cwEiwRMwjvCfe2OxgfDjA1ESIMYGMA UDMLCQFkMzYWUAumIESSZQrBSm8T4G4sCqKLCoQd5lQdYWsgeQhg3iACEAXAHyEFwGUAwAMQ Ai4dqj4gIlJhZCUFoG0N4CIgBAAgYgMFkSGQbmcgdG9vBCBtGtBoIG9mIOsDkSFQdgSQdAQA B4ACMAcK4wqABbBneSEgLqElICBJIGQCICcFQK53AHAFQCKgIAqweR9T1HRoB5BlI4EnBCAA cFsGwAWwZSUhHapGJMFpzyOwItAnIB9icG8LgCPgzSJxaQVACGB0LCIAKrDFHxInGCAgbm8F QCZhFyJiJqUjgXMgS01hZ9xheguAB5EBkGsnIAqw/GlkI4ciZCLQLoIEYC4wjnkq0CuiJjFz dWIAkH5kBAAnICyUI7QEkCzwIM8ewDCAJdAIYGxkJaIiEPsl0AMQbC+VFBA0EDHLImKKcwqw YycgdW5sB5CfBCAqcS7DLFYOwXJhJlE2ZweRC1B1LlE3mG9zbwGQOEA4dDgAYipyI0Bw/QNg ZipwIEslYCbgC4AfA/4nNyELgC7wJuQAwC32MzP5M7JxdSpwJyE6UyfCN7H+cAnwAJApQQPw JuAqoSyPvSB6UwNwJyVBdDGBZz7QVxQQLvEEICIYIHYIkHfucyHACsAnIHNCwSPgB4LbGCAH QGwmgDGBdAhwOmDBInA6IDk5JTliKnB/KTJBdCFxJBIncj0TA6AiPx7DLlEiwCFxCrAnoCBY /FlaLEcXsAORIzFA8gtRbzmQDeAkVS3wZDhAOyAu/iIgSx7AIeEh4TgAP4Mygf5pCGA4YSny JUAt2EByOjH/OZADYDXCQAEnIDqiCHA5cfcz1DrBKgEgQKAuMQVARJX+OyMgJuEUAFLUAiBG QVM0vUDyZyKwLvAp4yHzYTignzGzRlElmwdACJBuYT7x/SbhaQXAMho7TE1BQOMHcH860DaB T5ADoCbgWQBA41C7FCASgUgKwFPnRRNmC3B2ckZBPPFlP/EBAFAST/9UpEUiNnNFYEcQJWAY IAeA/wbQEoE4AESUIyMiACKwHwChXHdSU0dCL/FyLpDbSMAq0Hc8MCMBcy7SXHP3KnEl4GCR dT/wRsBkIQIg/QSBZjNQKtBA8iIQU9E8Ivc10QuANiFzNCA2ID5xRgH+ZCVAXWBEsCJxaLJm 1GKS/SVgay4wB+AqcSYxM8I0sv8zMAAgIxBosiJiAQA18D7i/15wJsEiskpyXnAzUEjBZET/ adcJgCpwBbBgkUChPmET4P8pQTSwB3ALgFkBaOFOc0Vg/12BIzE2UAUBTHEHQGG2F7D/FBBF 4jXwBZAFQCxWPZZBb8kKgDczHZVDaAUQBCAaVDfweS4wBcBHNE8US1d1Kn140AAeADUQAQAA AEAAAAA8NzMxRUI0OUY4OEIzMDk0MjhGRkRERDI0MjNGODEwRTQxQTg4QkNASEVSTUVTNC5k cy5sZWVkcy5hYy51az4AHgA5EAEAAACeAAAAPDhFOEQyM0QyMzVENzA4NDBCNjU4MjkxN0RG Mjc4OTgwMDY5MzVCMURAdGVtcHMxNTM1MzgudG1zLWx0ZC5jb20+IDxmYzdlY2NlYzA3MTAy NTAyNDRyMmY3YTQ1MDFtMjY3M2Q3Y2RlNjZmNmZjOEBtYWlsLmdtYWlsLmNvbT4gPDQ3MjI1 RjRDLjEwNTAxMDVAdGVsaWEuY29tPgAAAB4ARxABAAAADwAAAG1lc3NhZ2UvcmZjODIyAAAL APIQAQAAAB8A8xABAAAALgAAAFIARQAlADMAQQAgAEwARgAlADMAQQAgAFIAQQBEAEMATwBN AC4ARQBNAEwAAAAAAAsA9hAAAAAAQAAHMOZapfynGMgBQAAIMORbTqSpGMgBAwDeP69vAAAD APE/CQAAAB4A+D8BAAAADgAAAENocmlzIFRyYXluZXIAAAACAfk/AQAAAGgAAAAAAAAA3KdA yMBCEBq0uQgAKy/hggEAAAAAAAAAL089VU5JVkVSU0lUWSBPRiBMRUVEUy9PVT1GSVJTVCBB RE1JTklTVFJBVElWRSBHUk9VUC9DTj1SRUNJUElFTlRTL0NOPUVFTkNUAB4A+j8BAAAAFQAA AFN5c3RlbSBBZG1pbmlzdHJhdG9yAAAAAAIB+z8BAAAAHgAAAAAAAADcp0DIwEIQGrS5CAAr L+GCAQAAAAAAAAAuAAAAAwD9P+QEAAADABlAAAAAAAMAGkAAAAAAAwAdQAAAAAADAB5AAAAA AB4AMEABAAAABgAAAEVFTkNUAAAAHgAxQAEAAAAGAAAARUVOQ1QAAAAeADJAAQAAACMAAABv d25lci1yc2diX2xmX2dyb3VwQGJsYWNrc2hlZXAub3JnAAAeADNAAQAAABMAAABqaC5ib2Rp bkB0ZWxpYS5jb20AAB4AOEABAAAABgAAAEVFTkNUAAAAHgA5QAEAAAACAAAALgAAAAMAdkD/ ////CwApAAAAAAALACMAAAAAAAMABhAye2qTAwAHEB0EAAADABAQAAAAAAMAERAAAAAAHgAI EAEAAABlAAAAREVBUkpPSEFOLFRIQU5LWU9VRk9SWU9VUkVNQUlMIlJBRENPTUlDIklTQkVD T01JTkdUT09NVUNIT0ZBTkFEVkVSVElTTUVOVE9SR1lJRE9OVFdBTlRUT1BBWUZPUlRIRVNF QQAAAAACAX8AAQAAAEAAAAA8NzMxRUI0OUY4OEIzMDk0MjhGRkRERDI0MjNGODEwRTQxQTg4 QkNASEVSTUVTNC5kcy5sZWVkcy5hYy51az4AGxY= ------_=_NextPart_001_01C818A9.A43DAB52--
