Dear Syag,
Thank you. Definitely not my reality, either. But it reflects the reality of what is novel or emerging in the community. Some publications, are geared to the newest ideas. Others, look for things that have become somewhat accepted. It is much more difficult to write about habits that we all share.
The point is that the magazines are not pushing their own idea. But reflecting an existing reality to the larger readership. The more I think about it, the more that seems to me to be a description of media in general. Including there pages.
