"When an magazine has outlived its time and usefulness, what's wrong with saying that if you think that's the case?"

There is nothing wrong with voicing an OPINION, ever. As long as we realize that there are opposite opinions with equally valid reasons, life moves on. The only way to make change is to say what you need to say.

It is very obvious that Sing Out! does not speak to those who are looking for it to be something it is not.   To those of us who DO find the new directions appealing and a breath of fresh air, then we will do whatever we can to support it.

Sing Out! has NOT outlived it's time, and it is more useful than ever. That is an opinion shared by many, although apparently not as many on Mudcat.
