It's been years since I checked, but last I recall, SF Focus had been
in the red for a long time.  And even if it is making KQED money,
should a non-profit, tax-subsidized organization like KQED be in a
purely commercial venture?

Gosh, when I wrote an angry letter to the chairlady of KQED about the
KQED/KTEH hassle, I mentioned my dislike for this magazine, yet she
never mentioned Fine Tuning in her reply.  I don't suppose the 5-page
letter she sent me could be computer-generated boilerplate.....
