Hi Ed;
Interestingly, former RMC editor Tony Koester made a remark in passing on
another list that any editor who writes pleas such as "it's your magazine,
please contribute" should be put out of his misery because he doesn't
understand how publishing works. While he didn't go into detail, the jist
appeared to be that one networks, makes phone calls and generally finds people
and asks them to write specific articles based on perceived areas of expertise.
This seems to match well with your comments.

On the other hand, I do not recollect any really serious problems with
attracting articles. For some reason, they just seemed to arrive in the
mailbox in time to be used without long delay. I am sure Dick rewrote much
of the text to be comprehensible, but that is what editors do. And we both
made lots of phone calls -- particularly early on. But overall, the
articles will flow in if the authors are properly motivated.
Just an opinion from the past, but I think it is still true today.
Cheers...Ed L.
