I have been a subscriber since 1995 and have always enjoyed the magazine even before then, as soon as i got it in the mail I would flop down on the couch with it and read all of it straight trhough until I was done.

But ever since their 100 aniversary and the new head editor after the other retired...the magazine has not interested me as much as it used to...the articles lack substance and it just does not seem like the same old PM that I used to love...

anyone else notice this or no?

Every now and then they have a good issue, but I cancelled a few years ago for this same reason. My favorite issue was on time travel, I think I still have it somewhere.

my dad subscribed to both for a long time, probably 25 years. I read them growing up, and they both went down the toilet a few years back, PM in particular.
