I don't disagree with any of your points generally. But I have a couple of concerns. Frist, if we have some idea that we will have more than just SFBAAPS, that we will get many or at least several premies, then that is a diff situatiion than if we only get one or two. It should be enough to page for a sheet (4 pages). I say this only because we don't know how much peripheral impact there will be. By peripheral impact I mean, adding lots of membership and involvement bringing in even more members by word of mouth. The other concern is what happens when a premie reailizes they paid for something they coul dhave had essentially for free? If Jeff is nickel and diming us now, I'm a bit concerned what might happen then. As usual, I'm bringing up conerns rather than pushing the positive points (see why I'm so *good* at sales ;-) ). So I don't want to make too much of these points. But I thought they were worth mentioning. sh --- Cheryl Rogers <cheryl@wilstream.com> wrote: > . . .
