And that's the error that you keep making. I DON'T persuade CGW to 
provide this information. I don't care if they do or don't!  They've 
decided that they want to provide it. Good! LET THEM BE!

>1) previously did not "provide"
>2) is objectionable to many readers

Those readers' "moral" arguments are objectionable to other people like 
me. So, who's right and who's wrong. Doesn't matter! Just let someone 
make his own decisions about it!  Even if that someone is a magazine.
I am not telling YOU what's wrong and right. I am telling you to STOP 
telling CGW what's wrong and right.

>3) has nothing to do with the magazine's stated subject

As I said, I don't tell them what to do. I couldn't care less if they had 
a close-up of someone's genitals in it. I'll just stop buying it whenever 
I think it is getting uninteresting.

They DON'T have to. They DON'T have to. THEY DON'T HAVE TO!!!  Is this 
getting through or DO I HAVE TO SHOUT EVEN HARDER! <sigh>

You haven't responded to my Oprah sketch.  It probably was completely 
incomprehensible to you. Let me try to tell it in your language:

- ads on tv don't have to be about the same subjects as the programs
- ads on radio don't have to be about the same subjects as the music
- ads in papers don't have to be about the same subjects as the news
- ads in mags DON'T have to be about the same subjects as the articles

Now, I'd love to see you try and find valid arguments against this message.
I'll guess and say: you won't be able to.

Because: This is LOGIC.
