That's always been the case, of course. You're the reason we're able to celebrate another anniversary. Some of you have been with us since the beginning, in 1977. Many more of you became subscribers in the wake of Jon Krakauer's “Into Thin Air,” in the 1990s. And for a lot of you, this copy of 国产吃瓜黑料 is your first. But no matter how long you've been reading the magazine, we know you have an opinion about its contents. Believe it or not, we read your letters and emails and online comments with great care. Your feedback is what makes 国产吃瓜黑料 a living, breathing, evolving publication, ensuring we stay relevant three and a half decades on.
That's why, when it came time to commemorate those 35 years, it made far more sense to honor 国产吃瓜黑料 readers than to use the occasion for another long look back at our past鈥攅specially given the digital tools we now have to interact with you directly. Whether it's the results of our contest to select the best river town in America or the more than 1,400 reader photos we used to compile the mosaic image on our subscriber cover announcing the winner (Richmond, Virginia!), your contributions are all over these pages.
This issue represents our best effort to balance an ambitious desire to crowdsource 国产吃瓜黑料 with our monthly duty to gather the highest-quality content we can. You gave us the raw materials this month, and we're certain we've created an issue for the ages.
