I don't hate Russians at all (I don't even know most of them) but Russia is the source of a metric buckletload of internet scams and spam. So for once I thought the comment was appropriate. But hey, as soon as Canada or Madagascar floods our servers with spam, I'll be all over them too.

Anyhow, to get back on topic, it seems a lot of people remember RD from reading at their grandparent's house when they were bored out of their skull, says it all I think.

Maybe they should change their name to "Readers Really, Truly, Very Small Excerpt, Moby Dick in 5 pages Digest - with cartoons!"

That'll get them non-reading masses hooked!

I loved the RD. I had a subscription a few years until I ran out of room...

And those older RD are the best, especially the ad pages!
