I am interested in the magazine!

(Ok, so this wasn't told through the website... I'll get there!)
I have a question regarding future overseas distribution: *assuming*
interest level is high enough, can we expect a European edition? (same
stuff, but printed locally in the Netherlands for instance)
Costs could drop significantly for european subscribers, given the savings
in import taxes and postal charges. That would probably mean more people
would have access to the magazine throughout Europe, and that could only be
a good thing in a community POV. In my particular situation, since there
would be little demand from Portugal (1), a more decentralized distribution
would be a great thing - especially now that postal costs are uniformized
within the EU.
Cheers,
Pedro
(1) - I use my case as an example, but I'm sure many others are in a similar
situation; we all know there are AFOLs all over the world, but some
countries have *so few* of us that there would be little economic interest
in selling there. This is why I propose you take advantage of the
ever-growing single-market, especially now that the currency is the same in
most of it.
