I had to be soooo careful on the WSSM article. The dude who did the graphite barrel wrap and such was my editor's nephew. The nephew supplied the rifle and gobs of technical data that he wanted published.
Writing that piece absolutely crossed my self-imposed line in the sand .... it violated my writing ethics. Regrettably, all I could do was to write the silly piece and to do it in such a way that it screamed out to my regular readers "Don't even think about buying this piece of CRAP."
And there was no ready-and-waiting bias
against Mike's rifle? Was 'this piece of CRAP' an altogether objective appraisal, based on totally unbiased testing?
