it happened AGAIN yesterday, this time with lingua franca -- i'm convinced that the magazines i subscribe to are all doomed doomed doomed, and while this will save me money in the long run my compulsive reading habit's suffering more and more every day.

oh yeah, i should say that the first magazine this happened with was brill's content.

this is triply distressing because of my chosen field, you know.

Ah c'mon Maura reader-generated free content on a subscription model is the future, yeah!

Ahem.

I suppose you can take heart that at least you read them while they were there rather than seeing notice of their closure and feeling guilty.

This EasyEverything is making it nigh impossible to post things. Grr.

A) Lingua Franca is dead? Now I'm sad.

B) I miss Revolution magazine.

C) What is this EasyEverything of which Tom speaks?

I miss Revvolution magazine (was that what it was called? i'm being "ironic" except it doesn't work in tandem wiv forgetful)

It was called Revvolution. Johnathan King's midas touch strikes again.

Are we speaking of the same mag? This was the american one with like four issues before it died.

Maura: I used to heart that magazine. It had all the gossip and scandal and cool articles so I could be a total dilittante and pretend I knew something about every discipline. I suppose I could read the Chronicle of Higher Ed. but somehow it feels like the Wall Street Journal to Lingua Franca's New York Post.

EasyEverything = Interweb Cafe. Although, apart from the time I got a terminal with a broken space bar, I've had no trouble posting from them.

EasyEverything is SUCH A misnomer. Just try going in there and asking for an emu dipped in latex. Everything my ass!

Maura: maybe you should try subscribing to Maxim or something, it would be nice to see if your theory is right and it dies.
