<VV> RE: Communique article rejections

[Joe West]

Hi Harry,

I feel somewhat left out because it appears your comments address every
issue but mine.  Just curious why that is?

Based on your comments below, I would have expected my offer to submit a
tutorial on how to use the virtual vairs archive on
http://www.virtualcorvairclub.com

virtualcorvairclub.com is a private, not-for-profit endeavor that hasn't had
a single donation to even cover expenses... it certainly cannot be
considered commercial.

Does learning to use a search engine on a Corvair specific database that
will soon reach 300,000 entries have no "redeeming value to our members" or
is it that CORSA fears such an article will simply be promoting a product?

Can you help me understand why my idea for an article in the Communique was
rejected?

Kind Regards,

Joe
