Steve, as a ten year member and a huge fan of the magazine, i quote from one of my favorite movies, galaxy quest, "never give up, never surrender". the magazine is worth every ounce of energy that its previous editors have put into it. it is, in my humble opinion, the reason that many are in this club. you would be doing a great service to the club and the hobby by not turning back from the path that you have been thinking of taking!
