I have to agree with Karen's answer.
TAG is for ALL AGA members, and not all of
them have the same interests, nor are they all at the same level in the
hobby. Everyone has to start at the beginning. Ignoring the
beginner ignores growth of the AGA, and would give them little reason to
join the AGA.
How/where did Bill learn what he now knows?
Would he have been able to maintain his interest to develop to the point where
he is now if all of the information available was way over his head?
And, as I'm reminded over and over again, even
after 35 years in the hobby, I still don't know anywhere close to
"everything". I still learn new things every day, even from "basic"
articles, programs, and talks. Sometimes it's good for us "experts"
to review the basics, too.
Also, not everyone (even advanced hobbyists) who
joins the AGA is interested in the effects of xyz chemical (lighting,
substrate, etc.) on the growth of abc species in the laboratory,
either. I've read hundreds of those articles, and they are almost
always VERY dry reading.
A good mix is a sign of a healthy organization and
a healthy publication. Look at every successful magazine out there.
They have a mix of topics in every issue, addressed to a mix of audiences.
And, Karen, I haven't forgotten about the article -
I'm just not happy with it yet...
My two cents...
