I am a current subscriber, but I've been an on again / off again subscriber.  I see no reason to quit currently though.For me I ran into your information overload in the middle 90s.  I had stacks and stacks of Dungeons and Dragons, but I wasn't using any at that moment because I didn't have a group to game with....what is the point of having all that material if I was just collecting it?  So I canceled (and I regret it now.)Then years later I got the Dragon Magazine Archive CDs.  Just the index alone was worth it.  All those articles I had kept in my head were now at the click of a button.  Still there was no need for my paper stack with the pdfs on CDs....With my current subscription the internet is my index.  It isn't the best and certainly not as good as the CD archive, but it helps me find those missing articles I need....and then my hunt for the physical issue begins.  The information overload is not an issue any more as I just reference what I need for my current game....read for fun and research for the game.I still find it is a good idea to skim each issue even if there is nothing that jumps out at me.  I never know when I might need something for a game and plus it is a good idea to know the trends in the industry.</blockquote>
