Evening all, I'm Alex, currently the staff writer on PF. Some of you will know me from the variety of Ford clubs I've been a member of over the last few years, but most of you won't (and you're the lucky ones!)

Just wanted to stick my head above the parapet and to address some of the issues brought up here.

Firstly, Dan, it was good to meet you at Central Day the other day; as staff writer it's not my place to comment on the gentleman's agreement you speak of, but I think I'm right in saying that we are still just as keen to work together to ensure this sort of thing is as rare an occurrence as it possibly can be.

With regards to the comments raised about the quality of the magazine and the proof-reading issues, it's something we are aware of and we're working to deal with as quickly as possible. Please bear with us on this one; we are listening!

I'd like to think the mag isn't dying on its arse, but we are always open to constructive criticism and looking for ways to improve. If you're disappointed with its content for any particular reason, feel free to drop me a PM and I'll be happy to listen to and discuss any ideas you might have. (Note: that means any ideas which aren't along the lines of 'Sack that bearded c**t of a staff writer you've got at the moment' )

Cheers
Alex
