Hello, Chris:

If the cause of the problems was the editor, he'd be out in a heart-beat. I
will wager that the problem was that the publisher has wanted to off this
magazine for some time and let it die with the editor. It's like letting a
bug eat away an unprofitable appendage. With such a rationalization the
publisher is off the hook and he can say "We tried", whether he did or not.
Nowadays, it is all about short-term crap. I hate it, too.
