You've given us all too much insight here.

Do you purchase CGW because you "very much like to see" lewd photographs?!
Go buy Hustler. 
Nobody here is complaining about _that_.

And how would _YOU_ react if, without telling you, Hustler decided to replace 
it's nude photos with software review articles? 
I'd imagine you'd complain that it was not what you wanted to see in Hustler, 
that it wasn't the proper _place_.

God help your children!
It's not "[your] mag", there fella.
It's _MY_ mag, it's the guy down the street's "MAG", it's the ten year old kid 
in Canada's "MAG", etc.
And we "ALL" get a vote.
You're just a bit upset that yours is in the very minority.

HAH!
Thank you for saying that!
That really made me feel better.
Maybe you should read the newsgroup again and see what your publisher thinks 
of your stand on it's advertizing.

It's been nice talking to you, Jurgie.

(Quite strange for you to engage in a verbal battle over something you cannot 
remember even seeing. It shows how eager you are to agrue, but it's the 
thought that counts now.)
