Quote " Say you write about boats.

At some point you're going to end up on the sun deck of a boat, downing sundowners after testing one, with the guy that makes it." From a front page article in the NYT about the firing of a famous gun writer Dick Metcalf from all the magazines ("Guns & Ammo') he wrote for after he wrote that training to carry a concealed handgun does not appear to him to be an unconstitutional infringement of Second Amendment rights. The point being that pressure from advertizes control editorial content. A reality of life. The quote is from the editor of "Recoil" magazine who was asked to comment on the article.
Of course when my boat was named 'Boat of the Year" they were absolutely 100% correct in every regard! . Just some food for thought.
