this one is a total no-brainer IMVHO. 

1. if they're already not reading the manual, why would they read an e-zine? 
2. if it's a free e-zine for download, they get what they pay for.
3. if it's a pay e-zine, then it would immediately appear on the russian poser warez site and
   the registration rate would be less than 0.5%.  and don't even get me started on what kind
   of trojans would be packaged in the copy of the e-zine that 99.5% of readers would download
   from the russian warez site.
4. if it's a pay hard-copy mag, i don't see where the start-up funds would come from. 
   the VCs may be greedy and gullible, but they know a tiny demographic when they see it.
