AGA (this is about TAG)

But it was sent to the AGA SC.  I would assume that anything sent to the SC
was something that the SC needs to attend to.  The other postings were
specifically made to the member's list instead.  Isn't this already a
differentiation?

We have not yet pinned down actual cost, because we would LIKE to be able to
pay contributors a small amount for articles, which BB doesn't do.  It also
depends on our subscriber base, as you know.  The numbers for the old-style
TAG are all over the place because of varying numbers of pages varying
amounts of color and varying numbers of magazines printed.  It's almost
impossible to sort that out give give a clear idea of "added" cost. (at
least for me)  I feel that we are really working from ground zero here, but
I'm not sure that's a bad thing.

>From the numbers David and I kicked around the other night, we will have to
risk that TAG may NOT completely pay for itself at least for the first few
issues if we want to make the leap to a better magazine.  I personally think
that it is well worth the risk.
