Guccione may have been unappreciative of my efforts at his magazine, but he did leave me a parting note mentioning that my Letters were always -- and I'm quoting him directly here, folks -- "technically correct" and "verbose in unique ways."
I loved that note. Framed it and hung it on my wall. Sadly, none of the Pets shared his enthusiasm for me or my writing. The closest I could get was when one of them said I was "goofy-looking in an unsual manner."
And Rat, who in his right mind would ignore a 60-year-old car nut who posts on Internet forums like he was half that age? Speak up, old man! I know you're the guy around here.
