In fairness, Ben's blog has FAR greater utility in this area than Gary's because of his photo-taking OCD.

So even if they stop publishing new 'content' (sponsored or otherwise) I sure hope they leave their archives intact. ^
Totally!

Like, say, three years from now, I'll want to know about various ways to get through airport security, so I'd Google "Man Uses Magazine Cover as ID for Airport Security" and see what I get.

Thankfully, Gary will have me 'covered'!
