OK, since I’ve just very recently started this site,
there aren’t actually any questions just yet.
However, if people were to ask questions, I imagine they might sound
something like the ones below. If you
have any questions of your own, please email me at us@wtbim.org to get them answered. Q: So, you said
on the “What is this?” page that you’re not trying to convince anybody of
anything. Why are you putting out this
magazine, then? A: I’m doing it because I find the topics
interesting. This gives me an excuse
to do some more research about them, and to share what I think is interesting
with other people. Q: I’m a teacher
and want to use this with my classes.
What kind of permission do I need? A: If you want to use this with my classes, email
me at us@wtbim.org and I can send you an electronic version that can be
printed and made into a little booklet (as opposed to the online version
which is meant for easy screen viewing).
Please feel free to use this with your classes! Q: Where is the
magazine available? A: Mostly online, as it’s hard for me to do
much distribution on my own. However,
as word of mouth spreads, I’m hoping to get distribution to increase. For a copy of your own, visit the “Get a copy of WTBI Magazine” link. To become
a distributor of this magazine (assuming you have someplace to distribute
it), email me at
us@wtbim.org. Q: I’d like to
distribute your magazine in my coffee shop / infoshop / crack house / place
of business. How can I do this? A: Email me and we’ll work something out. There will be no cost to you as a
distributor. Q: I found a
copy of the magazine somewhere. How
much is it to get more copies? A: It doesn’t cost anything. If you want more copies, visit the “Get a copy of WTBI Magazine” link. Q: If WTBIM
doesn’t cost anything, where does the money to make it come from? A: I see this as a hobby of mine. Since all hobbies cost money, I don’t mind
paying for it. Plus, as an added bonus,
photocopies are pretty inexpensive, so it doesn’t cost much anyway. Q: Where do you
get the ideas for the magazine? A: I read a lot and when I find something
interesting, I usually want to learn more.
There’s no telling what will be next. Q: I read the
magazine and disagree with something you wrote. A: Then email me and let me know.
If I’ve said something incorrect, I’d like to fix it. Q: I read the
magazine and you forgot to discuss something I think is very important. Why did you leave it out? A: Space considerations cause me to limit
myself to what I think are the main points.
I don’t pretend that what I write it complete in all details. I would always encourage people who are
interested in anything I write about to not take the magazine as a main
resources, but only as a starting point for further research. Q: When I read
the magazine, I found your treatment of the topic to be biased toward one
position. A: This is unintentional. Let me know specifically what you find
offensive and biased and I’ll take it into consideration. Q: Why would you
ever think you were enough of an expert to write a magazine about [some
topic]? A: That’s my whole point. I don’t think I’m an expert. If you don’t like something I’ve written, email
me with specific things you find
to be incorrect and I’ll look into them to make sure I haven’t screwed up. Q: I hate your
[expletive deleted] magazine and I hate you. A: Lighten up.
