I don't apply my comment about longtime readers knowing more than
editors to the new staff only; it's not a new phenomenon. It was
about a year ago when Bill Farley remarked to me that they often joked
around the office that the fans knew way more than they did about
PLAYBOY, and they were often quite surprised by the detailed
information people remembered. I didn't mean to be beating up any new
editors over that one...
