Real-time ridicule
Sometimes the best part about a magazine subscription (think, slow winter months) is the editors’ responses to letters and comments. Especially, those found in magazines like Maxim though back in the 90s the editors of Flying used to have humourous responses also. And you used to have wait a whole month to read those replies.
But now, thanks to the Internet, we get to read such replies all over the place and in real-time. And in most cases you don’t even need to fork out any money for a subscription.
And the best part is that most of the people brought it on themselves. Such was the case with Google’s smackdown reply just before Christmas. It’s nice to see that in this “sue happy” world that there’s still some fun left.
