[AGA-mcm] Kent stiffed us.

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

In reply to their bill for the ad placed in 18-2, Kent
replied that they are not advertising in TAG this year.
They sent that reply instead of a check.

I'm thinking of changing over to pre-billing so we can pull
the ads of what in booking terms are technically referred
to as deadbeats. But that would mean billing at least a
month in advance of printing, since it sometimes takes the
advertisers that long to pay.

Mr. Poole was kind enough to note that Kent "will be gong
over our new advertising budget in Jan. 2007. please [sic]
contact us then to see if here [sic] is a [sic] new
possinlbities [sic] then.

I wonder if they meant 2006 instead of 2007. I wonder if
Poole will still be with the company in 2007. I wonder if
Taft-Hartley applies to aquatic hobbie manuyfacturers.

Sorry folks. I've just been exposed to too much "bad form"
business acts this week from a number of diff places,
including at work. So, in defense of Kent, I would like to
point out that the letter *did not* come postage due.

I'd like to say this is all just tongue in cheek, but I'm
biting down too hard on my tongue to get it into my cheek.
