MotorPunk, you have my sympathies, welcome to the brave new world. I admit that had to look up "advertorial" though had a guess at it`s possible meaning.. I am afraid my forum I.D. hints that I am just another of those whose hard won skills were in varying degrees declared redundant, though fortunately for me such was the variety of my interests that I was able to remain useful to some degree in employment up to retirement age. As has been wisely said on here learning new skills, going with the flow would seem to be the path of least resistance.... I spent an inordinate amount of time pointing out many flaws and increased risks in that which appeared to be blind adoption, if not, at least blinkered by cost cutting, of risk management techniques..... How far is too far in terms of acceptance of risk management cost reduction, perhaps when aircraft start falling out of the sky, it appears things have got out of hand or political systems seem to be on the verge of breakdown.... Fake news abounds, more is the pity.
Sorry got of track..again... I bought magazines every month from 1964, right up till about Y2k and sporadically thereafter up till circa 6 years ago when I think I bought my last, only recently have I given away magazines of al types yachting, motorcycling and car mags stored for many years...I suspect there may be many like me, so I guess you are kinda up against it MotorPunk as there is so much available on the web that is indeed free on the face of it, but then there is ever a price is there not.....?
