As our visit continued, Rick informed me that color printing costs about three times what it does for black and white.
He also reminded me that he made a commitment to the members at the Mentone '04 membership meeting that he would print every article they submitted. However, Paul Abbott started a policy that nothing that could be construed as a personal attack would be printed. It appears that Rick follows that policy and has had to turn down only one article so far. The person wasn't too happy about it even after Rick showed how it could be modified for print. That person threatened to file a law suit if the article was printed in any other form other than what was submitted, so it wasn't printed. Such is the life of an editor!
I urged Rick, at Mentone '04, to write an article about how the mag is put together/published and the costs involved. I reminded him about this but he wants to give priority to member's articles. If you think it would help to get this info out now and as a reference for new people then please email Rick and tell him he needs to give his article some priority.
Rick says he only makes it to Mentone about once a month so it is better to send articles by email directly to him at cra40@earthlink.net By the way, Doug Riley, he did say that he received the article you sent Mentone.
