[DeTomaso] Who is going to be at WOT long enough to needFancySchmantzy Race Oil? 6- PANTERA OIL

[Ken Green]

My complaint is that POCA rules allocate tech articles to the monthly, which is not a high resolution media.  That is all that I said and I don't know how to state it more clearly.  When I eventually document my projects, I prefer to submit the results where they will be published with higher resolution than the POCA monthly.  NOT to be pretty, to be accurate.  They also will probably be too long for the monthly. 
   
  Feel free to disagree with me, but please do not put your words into my opinion.

you'd like, then let's take that argument off the table. But then I must
conclude that you won't join POCA because the publications aren't pretty
enough. That in itself is a criticism of all the hard work that Jack, Mike
and others are doing because the publications are as high of a quality as
the limited market, relative lack of advertising and volunteer workforce
will allow. You're voting with your dollars and expressing your opinion and
that is your right. I'm just expressing my opinion may be hurting the
feelings of some very dedicated people by saying that the POCA publications
aren't high quality. IMHO, the POCA staff is doing an excellent job
working with the limited resources they have.

I'm not quite sure where you are coming from, although I'm pretty sure
you're from the third planet. When did I criticize Jack? I guess I need to
read my post again?

My complaint is that the tech material is relegated to a nearly throw
away publication with fairly low resolution graphics (pictures help), and
that there is some POCA rule that tech material will not be provided in the
higher quality Profiles. At least one potential contributor told me that he
would no longer contribute tech material to POCA because of this policy, and
I can only guess how many others feel the same way.

Can you explain why that amounts to criticizing Jack or Mike? I guess
you know something that I'm not aware of?

Ken,

What planet are you on? Jack DeRyke (and others) have blessed us with
serious technical articles in each and every issue of the newsletter. So
what if it's not in glossy color; it's the content that counts. You're
welcome to freeload information off this forum and are entitled to
answers
to any reasonable questions you put forth here but please don't belittle
the
efforts of those who are trying to run a genuine Pantera club. It's
clubs
like POCA that give us a greater sense of camaraderie and help to give
our
cars (yours included) a greater perceived value. I cherish each and
every
issue of both the Profiles and the Newsletter as one common publication
and
I'm grateful there are men like Mike and Jack who donate incredible
amounts
of time to both these publications and this forum.

If POCA had a high quality publication with serious tech info, I'd be a
member : )

If you were a POCA member you would have read all about it in the last
issue.
