I can no longer access PFF while using Ubuntu since Cliff went to https. If I boot up windoze, I'll try to find them (if I can remember to do so).

I have Ubuntu on one of my notebooks, and have no trouble accessing or posting on PFF with it. What browser are you using? I use Firefox.
My Ubuntu has a problem that won't let me download newer versions of the browser (or any software).

I've done write-ups on adjusting the doors & hood & decklid. Now sure if any of them are here, but they should be on PFF. You're welcome to copy & paste them in the newsletter.

I found some short posts.  Did you have write-ups with pictures?

Nope. I just wrote those because I have over 50 years of experience doing so - I wasn't doing the adjusting at the time. ;-)

Often, this is caused by lock files in the temp folder.  If so, you can manually clean these up.  There is also a cleanup routine you can run.

Another possible issue is the distro/repo.  If your distro is too old, you can't automatically install updates, unless you fix the repos.  That's a pain.  If this is the issue, you can use wget to manually download software, then manually install the software.

How do you want the articles credited?

One thing.  50 years of adjusting decklids on Fieros?

54+ years of building cars & adjusting all the panels to line up & fit right. I rebuilt my first total at 14 yo....

In Paul's defense, he used to maintain a fleet of classic Mopars, and they needed hoods and deck lids adjusted, too.  The process is very similar on most all cars. 
There are three kinds of men:

1.    The ones that learn by reading.
2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

Doesn't really matter, as long as they help folks. "Article written by Paul Angel, AKA Tha Driver."?

Only about 12 or so years on Fieros. Pretty much the same as other cars, but the Fiero decklid IS a bit trickier sometimes, & has it's own nuances. ;-)

Thanks to the quick turnaround on pictures, I think the GFC newsletter was the first publication out with the Fieros at Carlisle event as an article.

Several July Fiero newsletters still aren't out.

No defense needed.  Just clarifying.

I hope you're pleased with how the articles turned out.

I realized I botched the credits, so corrected that in the online version today.
