in reply to The Perl Journal Returns

After all the recent complaining we did about SysAdmin dropping TPJ insert, and all the dumping on theperljournal.com we did a few weeks ago and all the calls for us to rally behind the Perl Review, I'm surprised that CMP hasn't gotten their 3,000 subscribers already.  Sure, there weren't 3,000 people participating in those posts, but we need to be promoting this attempt at a come back.  Can't we add a permanent advertisement in the right margin or something linking users to TPJ until they hit the 3,000 mark?  Maybe CMP will give vroom a link to a subscription counter to add to the margin.  I'm too low on the XP pecking order to get something like this done, but maybe one of you Saints can pull this off.  TPJ is too important to us just to hope they make it.

    I don't know if I'm the exception here, but honestly I miss having a real magazine rather than having an online, PDF or otherwise, version of a Perl magazine.

    And yes, I realize you can print out a PDF fairly nicely, but it's just not the same without my glossy cover and decent binding! I want my flippability!

    Not to mention coffee shop and bathroom portability concerns.
