To foil or not to foil

We'll take care of the problems ourselves, don't worry - see Saxony . However, the rest of the country is also currently discussing foil reporting at a high level.

"There's far too much foil, I don't want that, I've been windsurfing for 30 years, I don't want to read anything else. My specialised magazine has to be about pure windsurfing, the original windsurfing with board and sail, that's how it has to be. Foiling is a different sport!"

"Pole vault too."

"Rubbish!"

"When it comes to pure windsurfing, why don't you surf with equipment from 1970? Your twelve square metres and the Formula board door have nothing to do with original windsurfing."

"You can't compare, that's just the way it developed."

"Exactly, and now the foil has developed, you have to talk about it."

"Is that even called the Foil? Not the foil? It's also called the wing, the foil!"

"Does the Gender:Shit have to come in here too? Foiling just interests me. It's new, cool, cool, just like windsurfing was back then."

"But that's no reason to stuff a trade magazine with it."

"Just a moment, let's have a look. In August they had two pages out of 90, in September 16 pages out of 90 and in October six pages out of 90. That's 1.8 - 14.4 - 5.4 per cent in three issues. You can't even put together a decent opposition coalition with that!"

"It's all relative."

"Nah, that's a fact. Just skim over it."

"Why? I've paid for everything, so I'll read it all. Nenee, you don't have to come at me like that. And the low percentages, it's like the shark. One in the ocean is relatively little, one in the swimming pool is relatively much."

"Meaning?"

"Just one page of foil makes me so upset..."

"Maybe you can get them paid back."

"Good idea. But you know how it goes, step by step, first one foil side with a surf rig, then two, then wing etc. etc. until suddenly there's only foil left."

"Well, everything's fine then, they'll just make a complete foil magazine and a pure surf magazine!"

"But...."

"But what?"

"But when something new comes along?"

"Then you can get excited again!"
