Hooked on Annie's Favorite Crochet?

You probably know, if you got the June 2007 issue of "Annie's Favorite Crochet" that "Annie's Favorite Crochet" and "Hooked On Crochet" merging, with a "bright cover wrap" announcing the news in August. I'm not too thrilled about it and there was no real reason given - just "in order to serve our readers better". How does getting one magazine instead of two serve me better, unless the magazine is a total of 94 pages, double the current page count.
I shouldn't complain, I don't even know what it's going to be like yet. Hopefully it will be a good thing. But I'm never happy when a crochet magazine bites the dust.

Payton update:
They put a feeding tube in his nose so they can bolus a liquid feed. The pain medication is making him very lethargic and he doesn't want to eat. So they did this because he needs a lot of calories to help his body heal. They are supposed to take out some staples on Tuesday. They have to put him under to give him a bath because of the pain and they can't have him thrashing around.
