Amen David! One night out at a restaurant with your family and you've =
paid
for a year of VV. My eyebrows have also been raised over the =
perspectives
so sensitively shared from time to time...no offense to anyone!
=20
Personally, I enjoy getting every issue and read it cover to cover. One
fine builder just made the point that the newsletter also serves to keep
sales going. Owning my own biz I can tell you that part of the game is
keeping revenue coming in the front door. I'm sure copies of the VV are
made available to prospective buyers. Before I made my choice I =
reviewed a
number of old issues supplied by a friend who got me sucked in. VV =
played a
role in my decision.
=20
As for all the X#$%@ about Williamsburg, I and my wife enjoyed the =
prospects
of going. It's a great place. Builders are more than just individuals =
who
just want relevant information (maybe some only want that). We are an
camaraderie of unusual people with a passion for the air, the wonder of =
the
scenery and sky we see, and an enjoyment of taking a pile of silicon and
turning it into a sleek flying machine. It's great on occasion to get
together in such a wonderful place and X$%$$#@ among ourselves. This is =
a
lot of work for Velocity and builders to put together (we thank you).and
while we're at it, let the factory make more sales. Good grief, it is
future sales that pay the salaries so the guys can continue to be there =
for
tech support. Yes, our front end price should have paid for that, but =
the
truth is that future revenue always pays for salaries, not a sale 5 =
years
ago. Or would some of us rather pay an annual tech support fee, say =
$2,500
annually. I doubt that! =20
=20
Yea, more fluff pages than usual for this one, but VV is a most valuable
piece, with great articles. You can't please every one. =20
=20
Velocity, don't change a thing. =20
=20
For those who aren't happy with it, don't subscribe. =20

I am taken aback that so much is made about what people see wrong with =
VV
(including the price). The publication overall is very helpful and I =
enjoy
the "fluff". As to the price, give me a break!! I bet those =
complaining
about price think nothing of taking their significant other to the =
movies
(twice in a year) or buying their cafe lattes (only 18 in a year). =20
=20
If you are going to complain - make it constructive - how to make it =
better.
And finally - let's be civilized and respectful of others - especially =
to
those who put in a lot of work to put out VV
