Ok I don't get it.

Past attempts at getting Roundel to take an interest in the Bimmerfest event in Santa Barbara were met with a gruff "why would this be of any interest to Roundel readers" type response. Meets, esp. meets with roots in Internet message boards have always been uninteresting to Roundel. Yet, attempts were made year after year by members of this board to try and get Roundel to warm up to this event. From what I'm told, Satch even ATTENDED Bimmerfest 2005, and seemed to enjoy himself. So, there was a ray of hope.

Yet this year, like every other year that there has been a Bimmerfest event, when it came time for articles, even well-written articles submitted by one of our esteemed Fest moderators, there was sudden radio silence. 6 months later, we can safely assume that while Satch had a great time, the event was still not interesting enough to print an article about it.

So it was to my great surprise that I open my Roundel today to find that, while articles about bringing together generations of BMW is of no interest, it's apparently worthwhile to print an 8 page article on dubs?!

I don't get it.

What about the Bimmerfest event is so patently offensive that the editors can't seem to take any interest? And what is it about dubs that is apparently of such great reader interest?

I pitched my latest Roundel in the trash. Apparently I am not their target audience. The guy driving the E65 with the dubs is.
