Subject: Re: [Healeys] Healey Marque May edition - Response Part 1
Hello
Mark,
Thanks
for your message. I am always interested
in member feedback on HEALEY MARQUE, and since 99+ percent of it is positive,
I
pay particular attention when someone is dissatisfied. (I think that this is
the second complaint in
my 4.5 years as editor.)
I
share your desire to print a variety that appeals to a broad
spectrum of owners/members. It has always
been my goal to include as many of the very kind of features you mention
tech tips,
personal restorations and do it yourself repairs as possible, but also to
include other news
of the Healey world with stories of special cars and events. As a club
magazine editor, I can assure you
that I welcome any and all Healey-related contributions and I do my very best
to publish everything I receive (this is my first hint to you that
I would welcome contributions from you about tech tips, personal
restorations
and do it yourself repairs
and really anything Healey-related).
Im sorry that you didnt enjoy the feature on the
speed runs in Australia (nor, apparently, the story about the speed
runs at Bonneville last fall). My take
on the subject is that it was actually one of the very most exciting and
interesting developments
in the Healey world in a long time, and I have found that virtually all
owners/members that I have encountered share my interest and excitement.
I can also
assure you that this feature did not displace other features. I publish
virtually everything I
receive, and so dedicating several pages to the Australia speed runs does not
mean that you are going to miss anything else.
In fact I am always, always on the lookout for more publishable material
finding suitable content is my biggest challenge and the idea that
Surely
[I]
have enough articles from the common readers to fill up the monthly magazines
that we can all relate to is not true.
It is a constant challenge to find such material (please consider this
your second hint that I would welcome contributions from you about tech
tips,
personal restorations and do it yourself repairs and really anything
Healey-related).
