Existing email, then you add a +whatever and it's a way to track where it was distributed. The email server will still deliver as if the + and following text isn't there. But you can see it in the header info.

I just read some of the stories in the last issue by Dunfee and some others and it made me think about what it was like watching the magazine devolve over the years, the endless procession of new owners taking the money out of it by slashing wages and pages, making the finished product at times to look more like a comic book than a coffee table mag of distinction. Sad shit. When Casimiro walked, the shift was monumental. Contributors were told, "Don't quit your days jobs." Leslie Anthony did an absolutely stellar job during his time at the helm after Steve. In the industry, Leslie was regarded as 'skiing's guiding light'.
I admired his editorial manner to no end. To be quite honest, later on, talking to Leslie on the phone was startlingly familiar, in an almost doppelganger-like comparison of voice and tone that I found in my new friend I made on powdermag.com, whose handle was Buster Highman. I never mentioned this to Buster but the auditory likeness he holds with Leslie is unreal. I think it's the calm of their Ph. D. wisdom combined with that skiing connectedness we get with likeminded people. But sometimes, I wondered which one of them I was talking with. Kinda makes me chuckle, thinking about it.

The emails from PowMag keep coming, sadly. I noticed today, at the bottom of their most recent campaign that they are now owned byA360 Media. I must have missed this transition.
Not familiar with A360? They publish such relevant and hard-hitting titles as Closer, Girls World, J-14, US Weekly, and OK!. <vomit>
It's odd that they're still cranking out content, and I use that term lightly. It must either be a machine to engage eyeballs for ad revenue or that their campaigns have been pre-loaded for some time.
In either case, RIP Powder. Thank Ullr for The Ski Journal, Adventure Journal, and The Mountain Gazette.

It was killed because it was worth a lot as a loss AND they get to send this crap. Fuck them.

Only magazines around here are grocery checkout crap like People and some celebrity rags.

Powder Mag is Done
It’ll be interesting to see how they do with the reboot. My understanding is that Powder are moving to a slightly different publishing model. Now putting out 1-2 larger issues per year, instead of publishing more frequently.
I’ll probably pick up the first “new” issue, but for me, there are other ski/winter/mountain publications that have filled the space previously occupied by Powder.
