I have resisted commenting on the subject, because I have known SDH for a decade and a half, or more. He used some of my guns for articles in SSM. In some articles, his fine photos were reduced in size to be about useless. Think of a stamp auction catalog. In the meantime the magazine had a full two page photo of 2 dogs jumping out of a pickup. I cannot guess why the magazine's choices. I quit the magazine unknowingly and was not aware of it being missing. A couple of years later, an offer of a cheap subscription brought me back, but I really have no interest in extending.

That being said, the business needs to make money. It is their decision on what to print with that in mind. That is what makes the world go around.
