RE: [DML] Deloreans magazine

["Nick Kemp" <nkemp@xxxx>]

Hmmm ... what to say in reply to Marc Levy's comments...

- I did not intend that articles be written just for DMC's magazine. I
think DMC's magazine, DOA's magazine and the E-Zine, if it ever comes back,
would all benefit from articles written by the many experts that subscribe
to the DML. There is a lot of knowledge and interesting folks out there and
their contributions could be worth while.

- I believe that we all benefit from the DML and any Delorean related
magazines. The benefit is directly related to the content and quality of
the articles. For years I subscribed to the DOA magazine and they had some
good content. I quit when the content moved away from things I found
interesting and moved towards social gatherings. But in their defense I
realized how difficult it is to write new engaging articles year after year.

- Everyone needs to maker their own decision about writing articles and
compensation (or lack of). Personally I hope all the Delorean vendors are
very successful. Competition is good and we need them. The two "for-fee"
magazines might want to consider giving free subscriptions for articles. It
might spur some really great content.

- When I suggested that the DML promote the various publications I meant
that we contribute our individual time and talent to help with articles, not
that it gets advertised on the DML. And note that there are a lot of
publications, other than the three mentioned here, that articles could be
submitted.

- My post was mainly responding to some criticism of the new magazine and
was suggesting that instead of THEY making it better that WE can help make
it better.

I hope this clears things a little. If not, it may generate some new life
for the DML. Even the DML's topics get a little stale after a while and it
needs some new content. Now I'm going to create a second message that posts
some ideas for articles and attempts to generate more from the readers.
