    Do you realise how much a weekly/monthly publication would cost? How would it pay for itself without the use of adverts? Both of these are things Martin actively avoids i.e. his policies include 'free to use' and 'free of adverts'

    By the time such a periodic publication is read, many of the deals (e.g. those contained in the weekly email) would have expired, sold out or been withdrawn.

    You obviously have access to a computer, so why would you buy such a magazine? As premier says, apart from all the cost implications, the information would largely be out of date compared with what you're reading on this website.

    There already is an unbiased consumer magazine out there - it's called Which?, and is a fantastically useful adjunct to MSE.

    So no, I don't think it's a good idea!
