Who's "we?"  I don't disagree, but speaking for 100 people without
permission is risky....

VW&P ended long before A3, did'nt it?  I think so.

It sounds like you are asking them to provide something directly to the
Scirocco list.  Are you?  I don't think you are, but that is what it sounds
like.

Are you talking of a movie??  TV show?  "Footage" typically refers to
motion film.

Problem is, in their mind, they've already done this.  They've done several
articles about VW stuff, cycled through it all a couple of times.  Is there
incentive for them to do an *early* VW magazine?  No, because we are'nt a
good risk/not a good reason to publish something for us.  Do I want an A3
magazine?  No.

They all spell checked it, but who's doing the grammar?  That's a big part
of my problem with "we," as *I* don't misspell things(often), *I* don't use
poor grammar.  I don't care that you do, Doug, but I'd rather you not speak
for me:).

Who came up with the title?   Did you?  If you did not come up with this
title, don't make it sound like you did.  If you did, I like the title.

I bitched and whined about grammar, voice, all that good stuff that no one
seems to care about.  No offense intended, I try really hard to refrain
from being the spelling cop on the net, but you guys started it!
