thats just a lame personal attack that's not true Nick.

The very last person I'd expect to shepherd me through a "moral crisis" would be a surf mag editor.

I made contributions, they were rejected. I wrote letters and emails, they went unanswered.

What I had to say , was not required, nor publishable at the time.

Now it is.

This is very far from just my personal opinion.
Well I guess there are several personal opinions at work here. I really felt it. I wanted you to write for the mags I was editing and I felt super irritated at the feeling that you were dancing the seven veils around my efforts to get you involved. I had heaps of experience with all kinds of contributors and they often got me into trouble one way or another, but I never minded that, I never liked being played hard-to-get though, it felt tedious and I can write too, so I don't have illusions about it.

Anyway like I said it's cool you feel good about where you are, keep rolling with that, and if I find myself in a position to offer you some work again, I'll give it a shot and see what happens.
Yeah, Nick got me published in Tracks :-D-: Paid too. It was the start of my career as a contributor to Realsurf. I owe it all to Nick.

Covered this before ages ago. It was a little piece about a born again Christian hassling some guys I had gone surfing with on the Northern Beaches. I think it was in MONA Vale from memory.
