That's fine you feel that way about the magazine.
The simple solution to all of this is, don't read it.
Oh, I do subscribe and read it for the most part. Makes for some good
bathroom reading materal. The price is dirt cheap and I do get to read
about products that I would not even knew existed, whether I think they
are great or not.

Right. I couldn't turn-down the $1 per issue offer, even though there
does not seem to be much of substance in the magazine.

As a rule, if any magazine in any way endorses mega-buck cables, they
immediately reveal their nature as a collection of nonsense not to be
taken seriously.
