John,

Now that you have revealed the secrets of the cabal, they will have to
deal with you! <grin>

Naw, it's more likely that people like Susan, Martin and Arthur all
write for these newsletters.  They are list members, and when they see a
good topic, they write an article.  Since an article can only be sold to
a single newsletter, they all get together and discuss who's gonna write
up the tip for which newsletter.  Susan sells to one, Martin to another,
Arthur to another.  Etc.

No law says they each can't write on the same SUBJECT but for a
different newsletter.

And if they didn't before, they will now.  ;-)

I've often thought that too. I subscribe to a number of
newsletters/magazines and they do tend to have similar topics in them.
The Q&A/Tips sections often reflect items that have popped up on various
lists.
