3 . There are many that complain about content but don't submit articles. Having many contributors could make it more interesting to some. The ones that do contribute do a great job in IMO. I have wanted to do several articles but for some reason I haven't done it.

I can't remember all the different magazines I have subscribed to over the years.  BCM is the only one where anybody has suggested that it is the subscribers' fault if the content isn't good.  I'm sorry but I don't get it.

I wish I had time to help you but I don't. Look through your old magizines and you will get it.

But as it stands, the income from the last 4 months is not in the account, and things need to be getting done.   

I feel bad bringing this back out for comment, but someone just made a comment to me that brought it to my attention and the way it is worded could easily be misinterpreted in a way that reflects badly on me.  So I just need to set the record straight for anyone that wondered what happened to the income that wasn't "in the account."

MAK was referencing that during the four month period without a published magazine there wasn't the usual income.  Obviously a magazine can't bill advertisers for missed issues, and because of the skipped issues renewals were down.

Also, I want to reiterate that all subscriptions and prepaid ads were extended to offset the missed issues before I left.  I know that doesn't make up for the disappointment of not receiving magazines, but I just want it clear for subscribers, and interested non-subscribers, that every effort was made to ensure subscribers and advertisers didn't get shortchanged in the process of what was happening.

As I said, I hate bringing this back up.  But I was a member of this awesome bus nut community long before I was involved in the magazine and expect to continue to be for the foreseeable future and don't want my reputation in it damaged by any misunderstandings.
