Re: [AGA-mcm] stats on tropica book

I guess that if they aren't selling fast, and we can easily point people in 
another direction, I'd rather see us spend our money in other ways.  For 
instance, it would be great if the conventions got big enough that they 
could self-support more than one "big" speaker.  But until then, if our 
treasury keeps growing, I'd be in favor of putting some of it back into a 
second speaker, in the name of eduction.  It might also work as sort of a 
"pump-primer".  If, because it was the only way people could here two top 
speakers on the same weekend, more people came...
