All good points, Pete. Although there are varying degrees of venom on here, I don't get the impression people are tearing anyone down PERSONALLY. Just the work. And although I agree that it would probably be pretty painful to hear, such (often rather brutal) criticism comes with the territory. Moreover, it serves a valuable purpose.

This is a forum of true Porsche fanatics, who take the cars and the history of the marque very seriously. And I think what everyone is venting about is a broadly held feeling feeling that Panorama doesn't adequately reflect the club, the marque, or the Porsche owners who feel so passionately about their cars. And, quite frankly, it should.

So I agree - no one should rip anyone PERSONALLY. And people should exercise every possible avenue to bring about the changes they feel should be made to the magazine. But I don't think there is anything fundamentally wrong with voicing opinions on the subject in a relatively strong and passionate way, even if they ultimately seem to be directed at one or two people.

Judging by the posts on here, the dissatisfaction has been building for some time and it's actually costing the club members. That's a fairly serious cocktail that I think the club would want to know about, even if it seems rather brutal.
