I like it. I *especially* like it because I don't have to do it.  :-)

While $100.00 is definately too high, I would price them each a little 
higher. Maybe $25/$35 or something. The above point is valid that this is a 
LOT of information and an INESTIMABLE value. However, Scott's point is also 
 well made in that aquarists' pockets aren't always as deep as their 
aquariums.

Nah..... We don't need the TAG police.

I don't think so. And if it does, so what? We're not giving the CDs and 
DVDs away for free, are we?

who always thinks that announcing the contest results at the convention is 
just a SWELL idea until she has to lay out the next TAG. (mutter) Just 
finished a terrific convention layout and then discovered I forgot the 
Sponsor Thank-you part. As Mom would say, "Oh, poop."
