There comes a time when individual interest in the subject matter wanes. After so many years and so many ties there is little left that may interest a lot of tiers. It's hard to maintain the interest of both the beginner and the expert over time. I at one time had all the publications I could find, several hundred dollars a year. Now I browse the news stand and pick and choose.
