Re: [AGA-mcm] Comments about TAG

[Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com>]

It's a pretty old story.  Different strokes for different folks.  The 
beginners want to see the DIY yeast articles and probably aren't ready for 
Amano.   TAG's never been about conversation.  There's no way it can or 
should compete with online forums.  The worst period in our history was 
when Mary McCaw was reprinting online articles a year later in TAG.

What I see as TAG's strong point over online things is the ability to 
present better quality photos (yes, this is actually true), it's archival 
nature, and it's ability to attract some of the bigger names (Amano, 
Kasselmann, Christensen, etc) amongst the 'plain old' articles.
