What would make a better magazine?

>From the APD.  Could be relevant to TAG as well as PAM, given that I get
comments, mostly negative ones, from time to time saying "what exactly AM
I getting for my AGA membership?"  Maybe we could put a complete copy of
TAG online as an example of what to expect?  Perhaps one which has
completely sold out of back issues?

Easy for me to answer... They didn't have a very easy/interactive way for
me to subscribe online and get enough information online for me to see if
I really needed that magazine.. (I don't go to LFS's much, and order
mostly online)..

Probably some step by step (and laundrylist) type articles on how to
really achieve the gorgeous planted tanks that I never seem to get quite
to.. :) (I don't claim that filling my ignorance with information is
possible.. Heh heh).

Agreed.
