Re: [AGA-mcm] Beginner's Corner?

["S. Hieber" <shieber@yahoo.com>]

Just my own thought here, but I don't think a "sponsored
by" would be a problem.  I might be missing something since
we haven't been directly connected to any vendor except
that we accept ads in TAG -- no corss-merchandising or
anything like that. But if we did it, I think we would want
to be clear that AGA does not endorse any particular brands
of products and that we don't edit out mentions of products
in articles if the mentions are contextually relevent.
(Which means it wouldn't be a
how-to-use-only-Red-Sea-products column.) As I said, that's
not a statement of AGA policy, that's just what I think.

As for costs, I don't think there are any unless we add
pages. Pages are added 4 at a time and Cheryl can tell us
(and remind me) how much it costs to add pages. We talked
about this recently and I don't remember the figures and
can't find the stuff in the archives.

It might be time to add pages. I think we might be able to
afford it if we don't have a convention that loses lots of
money. I think we can afford it even if we don't have a
convention this year -- I'm not saying we won't, just
saying "even if."
