I have made no personal attack on Bob Shell.  Read my post again, carefully
this time.  I merely noted that I did let my "Shutterbug" subscription lapse
after he took over.  I did this because I found the editorial content under
his direction not to my liking, especially the move towards articles on how
to be a better wedding photographer.  Some people find that stuff
interesting, I do not.  If you consider this a personal attack, I ask the
Lord to extend my profound apologies to Henry Luce, wherever he may be
found.  Even though we have never met or corresponded, I am sure that Bob
Shell is a wonderful guy, many others have told me so.

They have new owners and I'll stick up for Bob Shell. 
A smarter nicer funnier guy I've never corresponded with.
Is such a personal attack necessary Buzz?
