I agree, but I have to say that I never expected to see a reference to LeRoy Van Dyke on UHH.
UGH is a STRANGE place Rodeo... sometimes the message is independent of the messenger.
I think this is a left-over from the film days, when many of the users had cameras they used on manual or semi auto modes like aperture or shutter priority. EXIF didn't exist and couldn't be included. There is a subset of photographers, no matter how experienced, to whom the exposure triangle is pure magic, and therefore settings continue to confound them. I turned it into a game and viewed the images a light evaluation exercise, until I found that futile. But as Linda pointed out, it was info requested by the publication. Perhaps it attested to the fact that the photographer was a religious not taker. after exposure. Cynical me says the pubs wanted to keep up the Camera manufacturers' techno metering mystique while selling subscribers low-cost re-hashed basic exposure editorial material as new content.

What is all the complaining about... Are not some interested on how you got that nice isolated background or HOW you captured the moving water... ?
Advice to those who want to be writers, "READ" to gather examples of what works and what doesn't.
Advice to those who want to be photographers, "LOOK" and learn how the ones you like/want to do yourself were done. And work from there to do it yourself.

I am interested in knowing the choices the photographer made. What's the harm?
It is a SAD state of affairs when there is SO much debate about posting info on a shot... If you care read it, if not, don't. I LIKE it and get tips on a variety of things from the info. A lot more important things to debate than topics like this.
Harm? There's no harm is sharing exposure settings.
I guess if you are the owner of the magazine, you can post exposure triangle information or innumberable other things if you choose to do so. If someone does not approve of posting exposure triangle information, perhaps, they should publish their own magazine and leave that information off any descriptors accompanying photographs in the magazine.
