I just subscribed to this list a few weeks ago, and it is a great list! AM is a fine mode, I work AM low power so probably won't talk to very many of you, but I am on AM. Yes, my rigs now are solid state because I am a QRP'er for a long time. I like tube rigs and have some and am building several transmitters and one receiver as I can find parts. One thing that the AM crowd needs to address is "fire-bottles" do not an AM station make. They are great but lets face it. Most of the building is in solid state designs AND even thru-the-hole parts are getting scarce. If AM mode is going to stay alive and well, the mentality needs to change to welcome builders, appliance operators, and any other Hams that get on the air with AM. If there should be a column in "World Radio" then surely it would address some new circuits that folks could build and get on the air running AM. Another thing is that most AM radio builders have in their shack is test gear. The average Ham does Not have that. The QRP radio builders have addressed this and every year more and more Homebrew test gear gets presented. IMHO the ARRL and FCC have pitted the AM, CW, SSB, PSK, etc operators against each other with the bandwidth BS.
