There is another way to look at magazines repeating stuff as they do. Years ago when we as long term hobbyists depended on them for learning and projects magazines were looked on as a reference library especially pre internet. If they don't repeat that stuff then beginners don't have that same opportunity we had but the internet has provided another source most of which is questionable in passing on the skills the magazines provided. The new beginner has no way of assessing the rubbish from good stuff on the net which is not ideal.
