Re: [DML] Re: Digest Number 1520 (Unhappy about the DOA and DW)

["Brian McCool" <bjmccool@xxxx>]

Speaking as someone who has been a member of the DOA since about 1987, I
agree that the new format doesn't interest me as much as the old. On the
other hand, I agree with Trevor that there aren't that many topics left to
delve into that deeply concerning the technical part of the car. Between the
past issues of Delorean World and this list, just about every part of the
car has been discussed and dissected in extreme detail.
I'm still in a wait and see position concerning Delorean World and its new
direction, but lets be honest, could any magazine possibly hold up to the
amount of tech talk on this list and the immediate responses that are given
to virtually any question. Maybe its time for DW to go in a different
direction. Whenever something changes there will always be someone that's
not happy with it.
