Re: ..."my magazine..."

I do own some stock and have the usual share options granted senior
staff. But the usage of "my magazine" is the norm in the editng
community and stems from the fact that a magazine's identity is the
editor's personal creation. Stereophile represents _my_ idea of what
an audio magazine should be and has done for the past 21 years. Why
would you have a problem with that?

I have always felt that magazine editors need to be responsive to
their readers, hence my continuing dialog on forums like this.

>Your only worry is when the ABC numbers tank...

Stereophile's audited circulation for the final 6 months of 2006 had
actually increased over the first 6 months of 2006, so that worry is
not imminent. :-)
