I'm curious-- how would the inclusion of non-LEGO items help round off a *LEGO*
fan magazine?

I think we would have to agree that our situation is rather unique-- why try
and force it into something it is not?

Personally, I would consider any clone info in my LEGO fan magazine noisey and
annoying. I couldn't care less about clones and wouldn't want them cluttering
up the mag-- it would be reason enough for me to unsubscribe-- once I've
already subscribed, that is:-)
Stay pure, Matt!
