Whether you write it or an unknown writes it doesn't matter to me. Now, I'm sure you can deliver consistant quality, but that doesn't mean the person's article in the magazine is lessened by the lack of the by-line.I've kind of rebounded from the internet. I remember back in the ancient days, visiting the FLGS with a sense of excitement once a month to see what was new. It was nice to be surprised. Once the internet started promising you stuff (like say... release dates...), it became easier to expect stuff and be disappointed at the failure to live up to the notions.I generally avoid threads about a product before I have it, because I want to read it with a fresh mind.So, the point is, Dragon's relevance for me is not about previewing new products. It's about useful material. That means if it entertain's me, it was useful. If I use it in a game, it's useful.  The internet has such a low signal to noise ratio, it's useless for such material anymore for me.The D20 Modern portion of WotC site is nice enough, and easy enough to sort through. But RPGNow sometimes gets so cluttered in some sections it's not worth it.</blockquote>
