VCBC is stronger than it ever was!

Now Cy - don't go confusing people with common sense.

As much as I admire Tom for taking the heat for the delay of the latest issue of VCBC I would think that the publisher would have had some sort of "Plan B" just in case an article doesn't come through on time so subscribers wouldn't have ANOTHER late issue.

In my work I have clients who publish company newsletters and one who puts out a magazine and I know what it takes to put together a publication so I know it isn't easy but with proper palnning, it can be done.

VCBC has NEVER hit the stands at a set schedule. When it first heard of the magazine I went to every news/magazine stand in Chicago looking for it. I was told in EVERY case that they won't carry the magazine because of it's sporatic publication dates. Consumers are creatures of habit, they won't go back every few days to see if an issue has finally come in let alone weeks later.

I see hundreds of magazines at the stands that get published on time be it weekly, monthly, quarterly, annually - why can't VCBC do the same?
