[AGA-sc] Tom's post

["Karen Randall" <krandall@rdrcpa.biz>]

Hi Art,

I know you locked the Barr Report thread, but I think it was at an
inopportune point for AGA.  AGA cannot supply free copies of TAG to
advertise Tom's new endeavor.  We are a not-for-profit organization, and
unlike Tom's website which has only associated web costs, The magazine has
real paper, print and postage costs that need to be covered. (to say nothing
of the volunteer hours that go into the magazine) We always offer back
issues for sale through the book store, and people are more than welcome to
purchase those.  Any way you can add something to this effect?

On a personal note, if anyone had ANY IDEA how much work it is to edit one
of Tom's articles so that it is readable... Tom knows a lot about plants,
and has certainly helped MANY people do better with their tanks over the
last few years.  But he's a pitifully poor writer.  Obviously, I have no
intention of posting that on the forum, but I think it was way out of bounds
for Tom to send people to AGA for freebies to advertise his new project.  He
knows how far from his original text the final TAG articles are.

On a different note, I (and Scott Hieber) will be coming through Miami on
the way to Brazil again on Jan 25th.  I don't know know how hard it is for
you to get to the aiport, but we have have a few hours to kill between
flights.  It would be fun to meet for dinner again... haven't seen you in a
long time!
