That's unfair.  I've had two very positive reviews in PC Magazine without
every buying more than a classified at the back, as well as good reviews in
other Z-D magazines.

These guys are not perfect, perhaps even far from perfect, but I don't think
there's any actual evil scheming.   In most big magazines the editorial people
do not associate much with the ad sales people, and find them boring.
