I'd noticed some mistakes too. No one likes bad editing, least of all myself, but I guess, Nick, the simple excuse is that when you are doing something with so few resources, working through the night, night after night, to produce a magazine as good as you can, something has to break at the edges, and it is usually some typos and grammaticals here and there.
If that's what stops you buying a mag, then so be it, but it's a pity that you can't see that there's a price to producing something original and different and good to read, and the price are some errors. As many people have said in the past, you aren't trying hard enough if you aren't making mistakes.
If in a year's time we're still going, and we're still making mistakes, then I'll take it on the chin and say we're not doing well enough. But unless you've experienced launching a magazine perhaps you don't fully understand some of the pressures. I hope your furniture stands up to the same scrutiny, especially as my magazine cost you only a little more than a pint of beer.
Thanks anyway for buying the mag in the first place. I hope you will come to enjoy it in the future and I hope we will not be making as many mistakes, but I can't guarantee that because I'd prefer a mag with mistakes than one that's dull to read.
