That was what BobC asked. You can easily include DaveG, by including his
email <gomberg@wcf.com> as a cc. I did and just fowarded the last 2 digests
to him so he has all the relevant discussion.

Yes, but it won't fit in a 40-48 page mag (60% text/figures). Maybe that is
the list for the year? <g> We can still benefit from a description for the
typical issu(to make sure it doesn't include too many collecting trips <g>.
Do you want to include certain topics in each issue? 

And what is the expected number of INITIAL issues per year: n=12? =6? or =4?

How does AGA's contribution change as a function of "n".

And I was planning to take my compensation

what is stock (issues of PAM?)

would AGA get issues as return for investment, if so how many? Is this what
will happen to unsold issues?

[To everyone: if AGA gets these issues, what will be do with them? Who will
be entitled to sell back issues.]

DaveG: As majority stock holder, can AGA become the official source of back
issues?



>I would start with 40-48 pages TOTAL, 60% editorial, 40%  ads.

this sounds good to me. It essentially matches the current TAG for
text/figures.

seems reasonable.
