Yeah, but if it ain't broke, don't fix it.  The likelihood of success of a
new A2 magazine is probably less than if the presently operating, and
apparently stable, newsletters continue to operate as they do.  Consider
that many of the "merger"s of previous A2 publications like Incider / A+
basically were a foreshadowing of their demise.  Given the current
exceedingly small market for A2 stuff, I'd leave anything alone that is
still working.
