Re: [AGA-mcm] Juggling

This is quite valid, Larry, and the thought did cross my mind as well when 
reading through for proofing.  When Ben says Seachem products are really 
good, that's great.  When Ben says that and there's a big Seachem logo on 
the back, one questions if he was directed to write that.

Of course, we take that particular risk with TAG every issue already.  And 
this brochure, while home-grown, is still very $2000 to print.
