Interesting. Because it's rare that I pick up a magazine or an anthology based on who is in it. I almost exclusively pick up magazines because they are publications that I know I've read good stories in, or because they look interesting and some of the story synopses appeal to me. And with anthologies, it's almost never about name recognition of the included authors; it's almost exclusively about the editor. If it's an editor I know and trust because they've got a wonderful record of feeding me good stories, and if I like the theme if it's a themed anthology, that's what gets me to buy it.
