Why should ZD care?  After all, they wrote the definitive book on how 
to kill a successfull magazine, everyone they've bought thinking it 
was a gold mine has petered out and been shuttered inside of a year 
of their takeover.  I think the only potential survivor of their 
kill-a-mag school may have been Analog, I think someone gave them 
$.50 for the carcass a few years back after they'd taken the press 
run from 175,000 down to 7500 in 2 years.  Its still around I think 
although I haven't seen it recently, but then small publishers have a 
heck of a time finding shelf space on the local newsstands.
