[DML] Re: Magazine $$

["ryanpwright" <yahoo1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Has anyone thought about organizing the three (Gullwing, DCS, and
deloreans) into one? It would take a lot of effort and compromise from
the various players, but when all was said and done the result would
be a nice thick magazine with plenty of content for a good price.

I'm sure this is one of those "It will never happen" ideas, but
imagine if it did. If I were the editor of any of these magazines, I'd
have pursued this with the others long ago. Shoot, even if you gave
each of the three players a third of the final product - essentially
sending out three magazines in one so everyone keeps their little
slice of the pie, then split any profits three ways equally - you'd
triple your subscribers and slash your printing & mailing costs.
