Man we finally got some post on a topic. I try to not come off as strong as some of the others. However, I agree I have written 9 articles and been paid for all of them, excpet the one I submitted to POnd Boss. However, I do think the magazine has gotten better in the last year. The Otto articles are fresh and I finally learned a thing or two from the magazine.
Maybe you the pond owner could request more detailed articels wirttine by professionals. If they heard this maybe they would pay for it and the magazine quality would improve.

Overall I support PB and have encourgaed my clients to get a subscription. However, I also push strongly for my clients to get another mag also. It is specfically for southern pond owners, but just read it once and you will see the diff. Why b/c it is full of artciels written by the pros. We are paid for our time in writing these. PB you may want to listen to this thread. It might just increase your subscrption base.
