Tim, Thanks for your comments and for understanding. After 7 years of writing the column, I still have things to learn about the writing art. When I report a new product it sometimes sounds like my own words and not the manufacturers when describing the features of a product. I should build a disclaimer into the wording. As far as reviews go, I and other writers have had reviews of various S products published in MRN. They are separate from the S Curves column and do reflect the opinions of the reviewers. I recently did a review of the Paul Scoles scenery video and the observations were 100% mine. I encourage our manufacturers to submit their products to the magazine so that they can go through the review process. As I've mentioned before, I don't receive any compensation for the column and have persisted over the years through my love for S and a deep desire to promote it. The folks at MRN have been great in encouraging me to keep the column going. I just wish MR and RMC had the same attitude towards S.
BTW, my email address had been messed up back in the summer. I have a yahoo address at ([EMAIL PROTECTED],com) I also can be reached through MRN. ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
