I do see it competing with forum, for one thing the forum is instant , gives answers to specific questions , but is only as good or interesting on the members input. I wanted to know how to make English sausages and the forum gave me an answer, a magazine will give you a recipie  for Rabbit and Fennel goulash, if you like niether your stuffed of not if you get my drift.

Somebody might take the time to draft a comprehensive article on his Finca Build mit photographs and so on general interest not for a forum. Lastly the forum does not reach the great unwashed without internet the E Mag Can.

Im not saying its got everything going for it, as to press we seen very little offers for article writers, maybe only a small minority miss C.Life,,,near the end its content was poor!

So we shall see WoO
