Oh, yeah...We're most definitely reading your newsletter, Ken, and we appreciate your efforts. As soon I see you've put one up, I go check it out.

Publishing the constraint list is ESSENTIAL to members of Corvette Forum...when the constraint list doesn't show up on Thursday mornings, we think, "Uh-oh, Ken is either sick or he's out of town; Mebbe we have no clue what the constraints are this week." If you don't publish the constraint list, we have to go over to TOCF to get a few crumbs of info, or hope Rick@LesStanford will pull up the slack. BTW, NOTHING on constraint this week except Storm Gray tops (never going to see them in 2006 is my bet) and Z06 polished wheels??!!...Cool!!!

Sometimes, it's hard to sort the "new" out from the "old" in the newsletter. As you add new stuff, the reader has to search for the new to avoid reading past news. Maybe I can offer a suggestion to keep the newsletter, er..."pithy". Once an important topic has been covered in the weekly newsletter, copy that section and repost it as a "sticky" thread...that way, important info is maintained at the top of "Kens Newsletters" and constantly available for "newbies" that haven't seen it before. This would simplify your newsletters by reducing length and complication. Perfect section candidates for this treatment would be your excellent explanation of Corvette pricing, the section on 2006 ordering guides, and several others. As the sticky threads become irrelevant (e.g. 2006 order guides once 2006 MY expires), cull the obsolete threads.

I'm not trying to make extra work for you (you do plenty already); I think the total work would be about the same. This is also just my humble opinion...take it for what it's worth.

I have found your newsletters to be helpful on a current basis and also as historical information. When I was working on buying a car, I went back to your posts many times looking at various things I found very helpful. I would miss them if you took them down, and I expect many, many other forum members would, as well.

I have only two suggestions for improvement: First would be to include two or three coupons every week, for free goodies, just simple stuff, say, sets of wheels, tires, exhaust systems, 7/100 GMPPs, little things like that. Second, move your dealership to South Florida.

Ken, I read it weekly as well. The weekly constrainsts, GMPP updates and monthly parts specials that your dealership does are appricated. Keep them coming and thanks for all you do for this forum.

It was the first thing I read on this forum when I joined! Still read it every week and have pointed several non-forum members towards it, a couple of whom have taken advantage of a couple of your parts specials - I'm on "constraint" for my Vette account from big boss, big boss and until she frees me up, I can't take advantage of any parts specials unless they are free
