Re3: Death of TPJ

I guess my point was that the only reason I subscribed to SysAdmin in the first place was to get the bundled copy of TPJ. I felt slighted when they converted what was supposed to be two magazines into what amounted to an apendix.... Now that TPJ is no longer there, I feel like I've purchaced a jar of snake oil.

p.s. I didn't downvote your node.... Your articles, in whatever mag they apear in, are always worth reading "cover to cover" ;-)

I feel like I've purchaced a jar of snake oil Yeah, very similar to all those loyal subscribers to WebTechniques that ended up with a copy of NewArchitect for the remainder of their subscription. From a useful magazine for developers to a useless ad-filled press-release-reprinter aimed at pointy hair bosses in one month. {sigh} -- Randal L. Schwartz, Perl hacker	[reply]

My girlfriend recently purchased a subscription to a magazine for 20-something athletic females. One issue later, it got cancelled and they replaced it with Women's Day. We now get knitting tips, recipes, and menopause stories on a monthly basis... Guess this sort of thing happens in the magazine business. -Blake with probably the first menopause post in the history of perlmonks....	[reply]
