I'm sure he was serious, and people here aren't all that thin-skinned or they don't stay in the forums very long.

But by your own statement, you believe the content to fluff ratio in the 2+2 mag is about 2-1, and think that's not high enough. Even if that were true, and I don't believe it is, then how does that stack up to the competition is the question. My answer is that in the best issue of the year the competition has an inverse of that ratio, not to mention articles that contain mathematically and strategically flawed advice. And when you say some articles are boring, then you mean they don't interest you or deal with forms of poker you mostly play. But so what? You don't read all the forums here do you? And as alluded to by the other poster, it's all free. Plus I think that many players really don't appreciate how valuable some advice is just because the examples used deal with a form of poker they don't commonly play, when the theoretical points are applicable to other forms as well. All the negative responses to Barry Greenstein's book in the books forum has shown me that many posters here are just incapable of recognizing a lot of good advice.

I can't say that the topics of all the articles in each issue interest me, and quite a few don't. But I am grateful to be able to read those that do. There has only been one article in an issue in which I was actually disappointed and it was the interview by deacsoft with Jennifer Harman-Traniello. The reason I was disapointed was because she only gave one line responses to each question and never discussed anything in depth. For that reason if I had been the editor, I probably would not have published it.

Also you have to keep in mind that other than the articles written by 2+2 authors, the editors depend upon posters to submit prospective articles and thus that is dependent upon what various posters are interested in writing about, and also what they are willing to share.
