My concern about DGJ has nothing to do with the authors. It's the editing. The magazine would be of much higher value if there was a copy editor to provide editorial authority. DGJ contributers' copy is published untouched; some writers are paid, others not. The importance of words are subordinate to the pictures. That's running close to vanity publishing. High school yearbooks do better with peer review. Imagine the success of magazines for aviation and auto fans where anything goes.

As for Mr. Ed Muderlak, I respect his contributions, particularly his opinions here and on the Parker forum. His opinions were strongly held. Right or wrong, it didn't matter (as it does not on this forum). I read for information and inspiration. Opinions are a measure of my own biases and opinions. Infallibility is in short supply. It's a pity Ed isn't around to take on his critics. I'd learn something, absolutely, for sure!
