Trimming Fat Of MSDN Magazine

This is a silly one. Every time I receive an issue of the MSDN Magazine, which I regard to be the best resource for Microsoft-oriented developers, I rip out all pages that have full-page ads on both sides. I'm looking for technical information. If I wanted a Sears or Macy's catalog I would've asked!

The latest one, devoted solely to ASP.NET 2.0, lost 22 pages and 2 subscription inserts! I don't even bother counting one-page ads that I had to leave. I ripped WROX Press ads with twice as much satisfaction!

Funny enough, my daughter took my lead an started ripping pages from a library book. :) We had to explain library books were good and glued pages back in.

Anyone trims magazine fat this way? If not, maybe I need to obtain me a patent. :)
