If it weren't for my sense of humor, I wouldn't have no

In terms of pricing,  a TAG full page is $300 -- or $1,200
for a full year. So a quarter page would be at least $300
per year, maybe more because full page is the nice
buy-bigger-and-save price.

I think we talked once about $200 per issue for halfpage
and $150 for quarter page -- but that mere recollection.

But let's suppose that prices set under a modern captialist
economy are not as magically self-adjusting to demand (and
not, therefore, precisely comparable based on dollar
amount) as Adam Smith would have led us to believe. Then
the question becomes whether the TAG space is worth to us
what the TPT forum  ads will bring us.

I think this is a go with the gut situation.

The AGA's Sixth Annual International Aquascaping Contest is open! 

Enter more than once. Enter entirely electronically! 

So, get some fresh alkalines for the camera, clean the glass front, back and 
sides, remove the filter tubes and burping clam, and start snapping the 
shutter. 

Not ready for picture taking yet? There's still plenty of time for planning, 
planting, pruning before the Septbember 15, 2005, closing date for entries.
