But, what would be "your" incentive??
Somehow in Jerry's mind, this would prove he is right & everyone else is wrong. Then he's happy (for about 2 seconds).
Okay, four.

Still no answer to the question though.
What would be your incentive to publish a magazine, with a circulation of about 2500 screaming whiners?
To cause them to whine less and be well over 2500.
THAT IS A FIRM ANSWER.
Sounds like a plan - but why bother with "High Power Rocketry" (even if you could ever get TRA to let loose of the rights to the title)? Why _not_ just resurrect the "California Rocketry" name (for one example)?

Or pick a new name that's not limited to a single state. The hard part would be to come up with a name that isn't already in use by some vendor or club.
How about "U.S. Rocketry"? :)

That would work, of course, unless he wanted to include articles from outside the U.S.
How about "Jerry told you so"?
No, it's just another non answer from jerry.
The question was "what is your incentive"?
How about:
Weekly World Rocketry News
(Does Bat Boy fly rockets???)

Because improving it (HPR official magazine of TRA) would simultaneously get RID of two of the biggest problems in HPR industry today:
- Bruce Kelly in a position of propoganda and fraud.
- A magazine managed and edited to further government regulation and consumer fraud.
Also a certain "I told you so continuously since 1990" factor.

Couldn't you just do a good magazine & leave the BS out?
You're right, my bad.
I like epoxy(s).
Yeah, that'll do wonders for circulation.
Let's be honest. It did before, it could again.
Tripoli got over 1/3 of its worldwide members from my promotion of Tripoli at Lucerne launches I hosted that were not Tripoli sanctioned.
