Mark -
I definitely understand your sentiment and probably agree with the principle
of it, but then again these types of suggestions I think are better
submitted as a friendly suggestion rather than a public criticism.
In my view, guys like Reid don't do what they do for money or fame, they do
it because they are enthusiasts and are VOLUNTEERING to support our hobby.
If you have a different view on what is being published, letting Reid know
what you'd like to see with a nice "please" is probably more effective, or
better yet submit your own tech tips for others to read. Sadly Norman Nock
is no longer around to do the tech tips he used to always do, maybe someone
out there will step in his shoes!
