I disagree. When readers send us their money, we are entering into a
contract to send them in return a specified number of issues within a
given period. For a publisher continually to break that contract is
fundamentally dishonest. For that same publisher then to continually
accuse others of dishonesty is hypocrisy.

@John,I do get your point and see fully your position on this and would agree somewhat about the continuos dishonesty by PA , contrary , would you apply the same to JGH ? Can we say he was dishonest , just not as hypocritical as PA about it ....?
For the record I had no such issues with JGH when he couldn't deliver , same as PA , at the time viewed it more about small pub incompetence than dishonesty and found it par for the course, mostly Interested in editorial content , Then as now ..

while repeatedly and publicly accusing other editors and publishers of
being dishonest. Gordon Holt didn't do so.Yes, Gordon also failed to deliver the promised number of issues in a timely
manner in the 1970s, which is letting down readers. But Gordon got trapped
in a spiral of failure. Lack of timely publication, due primarily I
understand to cash-flow issues, led to fewer readers renewing their
subscriptions, which in turn made the cash-flow problem worse.Gordon tried to restart Stereophile by moving from the Philadelphia
suburbs to Santa Fe, NM in 1978, but the move proved catastrophic and it
wasn't until he sold the magazine to Larry Archibald at the end of 1981
(see link below) that Stereophile returned to timely publication.

Thanks for the link John , interesting read ,
Change of gears and slight derailment :) couldn't get over Williams botched strategy and poor pitstops this morning , cost Massa Big . Sad , after all these decades, William's F1 still can't get themselves competitive with the pitstops and strategies ....
Your Twin , Steve Machet still botches the commentary ... :)
Regards
And yes, the fortuitous pit-stop to inters somewhat offsets the Monaco cock-up.

I'll take that as a compliment - I very enjoyed Steve's 1991 book (linked

Massa's slow pit stop cost him a place on the podium but nothing could have
got him ahead of Lewis after that perfectly timed stop for intermediate tires!
