I subscribed to OG from about 1970 until they changed their 'look'
and got a new editor and started to get severely on my nerves with
their "new" voice. Now, I just stay annoyed with them because they
continue to send me SPAM and bulk mail garbage and I can't get them
to stop. It was grand once upon a time when it was a lone voice
crying in the wilderness of chemical soup, but with the untimely
death of the original, idiosyncratic voice, it changed - as all
things do - and IMO not for the better.
