Kinda hard to "quietly" count when all we're connected by is these two
pipes called -advocacy@ and -newbies@ :-)))

Me and 4 copies to the Ukraine... It'd be the one trade mag I'd actually
sit down and read.

An important point was raised earlier. We can have a glossy rag with a
lot of cigarette, beer and SUV ads or we can pay (a lot) more for one
which is actually mostly content. BSD is at the stage where we won't
attract a lot of consumer ads, so we should be ready to pay about $12
for our mag to get content like, say ;login:

For me, that'd still be a bargain. If I get one useful idea out of every
2 issues, that's money in the bank! I'm sure our collective batting
average would be better than that, so I'd be in the black with no
trouble on a subscription. :-)
