QuoteThey will be printing up my primer on "Whiffing" next week in the SVSM Newsletter.

Dragon,

could I get the text of that primer? I'm planning to write an article on whiffing for the IPMS NL magazine and could use some ideas.
PM me on 22Nov2010 so I can send you a .pdf of the actual newsletter.

If I could get all the data about the entire story, I could write it for the IPMS USA magazine.......
They will be printing up my primer on "Whiffing" next week in the SVSM Newsletter.  I predict that it will be "cussed and discussed" and then "cussed" some more...Stay tuned.

Dragon,

How much data do you need? After Telford (3 days to go, agghhhhh!) I can get you anything you want on that front.  ;D

PM me then.  The article will most likely be the IPMS USA's Journal's first "journalistic" expose in years (if ever)!

Oh strewth!  :banghead:

That was posted in 2005, and I think I found another PR19 mention on the same site after that time, and posted on it to inform them of the 'truth', such as it is of course.  ;D

I'm pretty sure I sent some PR19 stuff off to dragon, but it was a while ago now. Perhaps he can confirm that?

A pity the post the OP linked to isn't visible any more or I'd have logged on and told all.
