Firstly, an apology to everyone who's in Hall of Fame that it's been monkeyed about with, and of course to the readership for this problem. We are sorry that it's not been right and I've just had a little walk around the office and a 'firm chat' with a few people to make sure we get it right next time.
When I compile the data for Hall of Fame, I check and double-check it to make sure it's correct. I then send it over to our design team, who do their level best to cock it up. Unfortunately last month I didn't get to see the proof again before it went to print, so I didn't get to check it. That was clearly a mistake, as I realised when I opened the mag for the first time. I've now spoken to the design department who have assured me it will not happen again, and I've also put some processes in place to make sure I get to see the proofs every time before they go off to print. Rest assured, we know when we've messed up and we'll do our best to sort it out.
As for any other mistakes, we are aware that it's an issue and we are tightening up. There's far more proofing going on than there was before in an attempt to eradicate the little errors, and I'd like to think that apart from the vital stats the magazine is reasonably free of mistakes. Naturally, there will always be a couple that slip through but we do our best to keep those to a minimum!
Thanks for your feedback though, we're glad you enjoyed the rest of the mag and we'll keep doing our best to make it better and better!
Cheers

all i can say to that is


one more thing though, i DO realise it's a tough job, probably not something i'd want to have to do, so i hope you didn't take it as a personal thing as the mag has certainly "evolved" over the past year and taken steps in the right direction
