HairyPlane,
Thats quite a condescending reply to my post, if I might say so. Your implication is that its all to do with 'business', and we should let them them get on with it. As a 'businessman' yourself, you presumably understand this desire for interference free management.
I presume that you also (hindsight notwithstanding) would have defended George Simpson and his 'businessmen' colleagues at Marconi against any strategy mismanagement charges when they set about changing the business that Arthur Weinstock had spent a lifetime buiding up? Oh dear, what happened to Marconi?
As a previous poster on this thread has said, it is amazing that so many people care enough about the future of Pilot magazine to have posted on this thread. It would be nice to hear from those who currently run the magazine that they are taking the well-meaning comments on board.
If they can't find 5 minutes to do that................
