Actually, I find quite a few square images in magazines.  Anyway, magazines
do not need MF.  You could get away with an Instamatic for the most part in
most magazines.

Besides, most cameras do not provide square images, so the odds of people
using rectangular images, from the proliferation of rectangular image making
cameras, is certain to have some bearing on the 'issue' (sic).

Anyway, this is all pretty irrelevant to what the discussion was.  Somehow,
you are trying to justify rectangular images over square ones, and that is
YOUR preference (and of course others), but it is not mine, nor is it a lot
of people's who use square format cameras.
