Well,
Speaking as an displeased reader. I much prefered the content of the Pub 
when Mr McCarty was doing it. It seemed that he had more North American 
smith content than currently. I am somewhat tired of Asian and European 
smiths being showcased primarily.
We are after all ABANA which last time I looked meant NORTH AMERICA. I know 
there are plenty of good talent here in teh US of A and Canada and Mexico.
