Is this a complaint? ;-)  I am aware of three mailings under the control
of one person: 1) A2MG  2) SSII  3) JuicedGS.  (2) and (3) are paid
subscriptions.  (1) is free and is internet based.  All (1) asks is for
active participation instead of $$$.  (2) and (3) don't require you to
actually read as long as you pay your $$$.  I mainly lurk on the A2MG
but I do post or contribute occasionally to keep my membership.  It is not
a burden :-)  I was miffed when I was dropped from one of the paid
subscriptions before the end of the term and didn't get a refund.  But the
same also happened over the years with InCider, A+, A2-Central, GS+, Call
A.P.P.L.E, etc. as they folded in mid subscription.  So I'm used to losing
money on subscriptions.  It happens.  The AppleII lives on however. ;-)

I also use AW5.1 daily, so the A2MG is important to me.
