Interestingly, the last but one 'VC Sucks' thread berated Steve Simmons and his magazine for going with too many non-technical articles to the neglect of tech content. Personality issues aside (but of course, that is the actual, 'real' issue for most of the people posting), could it be that a lot of folk feel entitled to a magazine that's written just for them and their precise interests? If so, that might be an interesting and constructive dialogue to have here (perhaps a new thread).

Traditional publishing is already in a world of hurt. If we persist on tearing it down for not being all things to all people, the only good outcome will be a few more trees not going to the pulp mill.
