Just picked up the September issue....wanted to read the story about the L78. I was surprised there were some obvious errors concerning the compression ratio and the style of Holley carb. Do these guys fact check this stuff with folks who know [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]

Tom - MCR (and others) are known (at least by me) to have on occasion some glaring errors in some of their articles. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

Sometimes all they go by is what is told to them by the owners -- we all know the issues with that ... TAZ

I don't get it all the time...once in awhile if the spirit moves me. The L78 article caught my eye...perhaps they should have asked one of us to help write it [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Often, what was edited and published was not what the author had written. Things get changed for odd reasons by people that should not be editing content. Something I recently learned. Don't shoot the author, hang the editor.

BIG </div></div> What experience are you basing this statement on? </div></div> As told from friends and family that have gone thru the process of writing... For the Record, I actually like MCR and the editor. I have every issue dating back to Classic Sixties...My comments are a generalization. There are cutting room floors for more than one media....I bet there are some good stories within them too! BIG Edited for content... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img] |

BIG </div></div> What experience are you basing this statement on? </div></div> I concur. I was the tech editor at MCR and Mopar Muscle from 1990-94 and sometimes I'd be floored by edits/corrections that were made by the people above me. I was, on more than one occasion, told that I should have been writing to a fifth grade reading level and the fact that I had a law degree meant that I was writing too far above the heads of my audience. Whether it was them making technical material no longer accurate or just plain "correcting" my correct grammer with incorrect grammer or slang, it drove me nuts. Don't get me started on the phrase "it needs restored." Or how Charger Daytonas had fiberglass nose cones... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img] ...and when I finally met someone there that had a better talent at grammer and syntax...I married her! (We just had our 23rd anniversary a couple weeks ago). [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img] ...and she is still correcting me! |
