EC stoops to a new low, Porsche design team finds a brain

[Ed Kellock]

You know, I _just_ noticed that.  What a total bonehead.  Gotta have a
word with my editor...   ;-)

I let my EC sub go a couple years ago.  It ceased having much that I
felt was pertinent and they're editorial staff has always lacked a
certain... uh, skill.  I once wrote a letter to the editor and only
part of it was used, which I understand is the norm, but it was
combined with a letter from another with the other person's name
indicated.  I thought that was probably beyond the norm, at least for
the other mags.  I was often surprised that they were treated to the
same level of access by car mfgrs that other mags received.

EC used to occasionally arrive shreaded, but even when they didn't,
they often ended up that way.
