We don't? Wes Buck begs to differ. This year is DI's 20th anniversary.

I'm talking about the great drag rags of the 1960s, 70s, 80s into the early 90s before the internet. Buy the time
DI and ND get to your mailbox it's outdated (plus you can look at it 2 or 3 weeks before on the computer)
Been getting ND since January 1972. Been getting DI, off and on for 20 years. Remember when it was free years
ago.

Living in the past and I like it.
