Chac^un `a son gout. > If people want to look at boring stuff they should read that other Mag > (SD). No. Issues 1, 2, and 3 of AquaCorps were anything *but* boring. And they don't look like that other mag, perish forbid. Frankly, I think that the more *recent* issues of AquaCorps bear a closer resemblance to that Other Rag (TM) than the earlier issues ... but maybe that's just me .... > This is the nineties and the look that the Corps has taken goes with the > times. Right. Just like bell bottoms in the seventies, nehru jackets in the sixties, duck's ass haircuts in the fifties.... I stand by my earlier remarks about the contemporary compulsion to dress the printed word up like a clown. Just my taste. > Sometimes the contents is too hi-tech for the average reader but then > again Aqua Corps is not for your average diver. Since when does the level at which the magazine is pitched have anything to do with the graphics? If anything, one could argue that an overreliance on pictures is an effort to make the content more palatable to the sub-literate (or the average sub-genius) .... but, of course, I wouldn't argue anything like that :) .... > For those that don't like the look, stick to the publications with all > the pretty fishies in it ! Wait. Given *that* familiar-sounding slogan, are you sure that you're talking about the right magazine? ... :) Mr. Pyle, for one, and other ecologically minded readers of this newsgroup might take issue with your inference that macho divers don't like looking at pretty fish. So, *what* were you ... *really* ... trying to say, Mr. Szabo? :) -- Phil P.S.: I did receive a fair, considered -- and coherent -- response from Mr. Menduno to my earlier post.
