Amen to that! I was saying that very same thing at my spinning guild meeting last night. I am not a mainstream person, I enjoyed having a magazine that I felt was geared to other "non-conformists", a special breed that does not subscribe to the current buzz word, make a buck and waste it, mentality. The magazine has now joined the "other" businesses and has gone corporate. I just wonder if they did this out of necessity or demand. Did they get greedy? or were they not meeting their expenses in a limited market. I once worked for a newspaper that refused to change or put money into their publication to upgrade the technology that would expedite their production. Another paper came along that is much better and I enjoy working for them, even though it was quaint and historical at the other paper. I make better money and feel the new paper is much more professional in how my work is treated. I don't know how this applies to Spin Off or Handwoven, but I miss the way the older issues used to make me feel and I hope something else comes along that is better. Maybe it's just the natural evolution of things to eventually move with the mainstream or the herd. Not me though. Vicki
