Is this code for Tony Gallipi, Josh Zerlan, Mike Hearn, Mike Caldwell, Jered Kenna and James Gibson?

This is great news.  The magazine content was always fantastic, but the logistics were worryingly erratic, hopefullly this will fix those and take the whole thing to the next level.  Congrats!

I'm worried about unbiased reporting.

I hope Bitcoin Magazine will be completely independent from its parents.

Any comments from its new owners on this?

*Now tempted to purchase a subscription.*

Will bitcoinmagazine still be plagued with poor delivery times?

When could I expect a christmas bundle to get to me? In time to give it as a present for christmas?

Will you be using our bakewell funds to buy your subscription,  according to this (http://blog.glbse.com/asset-lists), you should have a full list of holders and be able to return the funds

Now what did I tell you when Wladimir left?

"Bittalk will never publish another issue again."

And everyone was like "Stop trolling, you troll." and "Nu-uh, totally won't happen."

See? You people need to start listening to me, like my words are directly from Satoshi himself.

The Bitcoins that Tradehill dood borrowed from his customers are in the 20 Mission thing, not the JRO oh wait, yes, both of them, you're right.
