Seth, that's really the problem; to (wildly) paraphrase a famous quote by Groucho Marx: "I wouldn't want to subscribe to any magazine that would have me as a subscriber." The American mags are about 90% advertizing, 5% ARF reviews, with the remaining 5% being filled up with hobby cliches. I rarely spend more than 30min (if that) looking through any of the American mags. On the other hand, I'll read and rereach over many years, my few precious copies of Flying Scale Models.
