Green's ... detailed ... editorials never fit on the page up front & always managed to continue on page 73. In tiny, tiny type. Went on & on one issue about "solving" AIDS by running blood through a heater ...
That said, I subscribed to that magazine for several years when I was a new ham &, W2NSD/1 aside, it was a good magazine. Circa 1992, he did a tabloid for n00bs called Radio Fun ("RF" - get it?) that was also good even if it didn't last.

@aliide @sarajw @liilliil No can do! You all have to find your own #Iranian #Bat #Breeder - It's a #Mastodon #RightOfPassage from the #OldenDays when #Hashtags were purely numeric and people made #Obscure #IRC #References like you can't do on #Threads :)
Also I just saw there was a #HashtagGames hashtag. Cute.

In the olden days we didnβt have Apple Watches to tell us to move every hour - all we had was our grandmothers chasing us with a wooden spoon telling us to go outside #OldenDays
I just shared a recipe that was endlessly copied across the internet when I first published it. (Dal Makhani). It reminded me that there were no ethics in those days around the direct copying of material from others without attribution - whole copies of my early files appeared everywhere, as did recipes (especially this one) when I moved to a blogging platform.
Personally there was a tension between my belief that recipes SHOULD be shared freely, and wanting recognition for my work.
In the end I just shrugged my shoulders and went, whatever, except if they were clearly building a reputation or making money. I'd ask them to take them down. Some were devious. Most complied.
Most bloggers learnt quickly to put a line in a recipe stating "the original recipe appears here <link>" Most copiers were not savvy enough to remove the line ππ

Stumbled across this post from January 2009 about musicians on twitter. The idea of being able to interact with your heroes was new and exciting. The comments are amusing.
