If we don't get more people in boating then you damn sure won't have more readers. The relationship between writers and manufactures is just like a marriage. We must communicate and be willing to compromise. Manufacturers and products must be accessible. Integrity in the print media vs. online.
Printed material has a high degree of integrity vs. that on the net.
You don't know who wrote it, you just can't substantiate it. The customer gets the truth in print and wishes he could get it on the net. He would rather us work with them. Writers have been focusing on some issues that are not the important ones. You need to focus more on areas of agreement than areas of disagreement.
