Re: [AMC-List] Apathy

I agree Kim, but we still need to correct major mistakes. Even some
minor ones, though I wouldn't get to nit picky - I'd let pass a 61
American identified as a 63, or a 71 Javelin identified as a 72-3-4,
but not a 70 Javelin identified as a 71-74, etc. Most of the mistakes
are simply that -- editing to fast or not taking the time to fully
investigate. I've made minor mistakes before, but editing an all AMC
publication and being somewhat knowledgeable about AMCs I don't make
that many. We still need ot correct those unbelievers. If we don't
care, why the hell should they? I don't buy the "if we complain to much 
they may stop publishing anything about AMC" theory either. The
complaints let the editors know that AMC people are reading the
articles -- their magazines. Only a small percentage will complain or
comment, so that tells them that there are a lot more AMC people out
there reading the articles. If you have readers that care, you have
articles that sell magazines.
