People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Dwight has busted his butt for years putting out the HOTB with very little content and input from the membership. We can't expect him to print what he doesn't have.

The latest issue is awesome. Well worth the wait. The Registry is losing a very valuable and dedicated member of the executive with the end of the current editor's service.

Did you send in an article to get published that was ignored? If not, then maybe it is something to send the new editor for the next issue. Lack of contribution results in lack of articles.

Hi n00b,

Feel free to post your name and location, and don't forget to also send an article to the editor of the newsletter with the history of your 368 (if you actually own one) so that everyone can read all about it. Don't forget to send the editor some high res photos of the car, yourself and the whole garage! I can guarantee he will appreciate it!!!

If you have anymore negative comments about my newsletter, feel free to email me directly - we can talk it over and maybe meet up and chat about it. Finally - if you want, you can always run for a position in the executive, and contribute to the club directly - but that will take more than just anonymously running your mouth

- you'll have to step up and make a difference! I'm sure your efforts will be appreciated by all the members of the club.

Lack of articles? Seemed like three articles, three authors. I would prefer more variety, but since I received nothing from the membership except the two others who posted articles to me, there wasn't much to do but write an article of my own and publish before the end of the year.

I hope the new editor has better luck soliciting content from everyone. Unfortunately, at this point, most of the tech articles have been done to death, and the average owner is typically quite sensitive about writing, even though the editor will correct/edit what it written. Such is the life of the HOTB editor.

I just hope that the membership is supportive of our new editor's efforts in the new year - it is a tough and thankless (sometimes degrading and insulting) job and he needs your collective support.
