I guess there is a difference between editing a complete copy vs. receiving an already edited version-- but I only read the the mags to see if there is and good news, or if there are any new products. I an understand that advertising helps pay bills [whatever they might be...] but I don't see why having the SAME advertisements week after week is necessary. I find that before Greg edited the duplicate articles out of the magazines that it was really a pain to try to decipher any of them since they often had similar articles (perhaps not even in concurrent issues) and the articles were sometimes slightly altered enough to confuse the reader as to what was the truth. If copyrights are indeed going to be ``inflicted'' upon us here... I would like to say that I would rather NOT RECEIVE the magazine[s] if they are not edited. They are not worth it.
