Is this forum usage more MEW than ME?

[Boiler BriParticipant @boilerbri]

Ian, Whatever it is as far as i am concerned it's a valuable resource.

Although i own my own business which includes a fully tooled workshop, i am more involved with the running of the business and machine design that we sell, so i spend little or no time on the shop floor. If i have a problem there is someone here on the forum who can advise and help. So does it really matter which side has the bias?

I am just glad there is such a place that we can have questions answered, especially out of working hours, which lets face it is when most of us require the help that such a forum can offer.

On the Magazine front i stopped subscribing when model engineer was torn apart into two mags, which spoilt it for me personally. Now i pick a copy up occasionally if there is something in the current mag that appeals to me.

As a corollary to Boiler Bri, I started reading MEW when it split from ME, as I was not interested in making models. I expect the title MEW is to hold on to the connection with ME, which is the "senior".

MEW would more appropriately be called "Home Engineers Workshop", then it wouldn't matter where the apostrophe is. ( You need to have read previous threads re title to understand the last bit)

But the forum can stand on its own, without allegiance to either magazine. It has to have a title, and its got what it was given.
