Stanwell I'm slightly confused by some of your comments - I have no idea who
Nige321 is!
I am indeed taking note of all the observations - it is refreshing to hear the views of readers and potential readers and as I said before, thanks for taking the time to say what you think.
I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with anything that has been said, however I should say that of course it is important to remember that the views of one or two people don't necessarily reflect those of a wider audience. This is one of the difficulties in establishing what is the right content and style for any magazine.
But from what has been said here, I'm guessing that the main issue seems to be the perceived reduction in the quality of written material? Does this mean that imagery is less important? What about the question of Cold War versus WWI/WWII for example?
Do please add more views - it's interesting stuff which I will certainly note and pass on
