Just to test MacArthur's theory I Googled "magazine short stories". I saw a promising front page link (fifth from the top) to a list of someone's top 50 literary magazines. Harper's was number four on that list. Took me twelve seconds.

The problem is surely a matter of control. If you go and ask them for comment on an issue they are the ones in control of the conversation and their word has weight, if they were to come to the comment and threads and voice their opinion there then they have surrendered that weight. No matter where the conversation is the opinion of so many executives will surely only be given following that consideration...
