Here's a copy of an email I just sent to the editor of RMC:
-------------------------------------------------
"Train Set Buyer's Guide" Oh good, a little help for the newbie. Hah! What it was was a puff piece for the manufacturers. They even wrote the set descriptions.
I went back and looked at last years "guide". Surprise! While it still offered little help in choosing a set, at least it had quite a bit of useful info.
Why did you change? I could have expected something like this from the "other" magazine, but I've always considered RMC a superior publication. That's why I subscribe.
Your standards slipped when this "guide" was approved. Please go back to at least the quality of last years guide for next year.
------------------------------------------------------------
I'm not trying to start a big argument about magazines. I'm asking that those of you who also subscribe to RMC and agree with me about the "guide", let the editor know about it. A little complaining from subscribers goes a long way. Thanks.
