I know. I accept all of the arguments against that particular idea. My 
little fit is more about a culmination of apathy. That phrase totally 
does not work. Shoot. Best I can do.

like Scott says, he's a micro-company, and selling to

As an interesting cooincidence, Greg and I were talking about his iron 
supplement, because I am almost out of the BUCKET of Seachem Flourish 
Iron that Tony gave me when he got out of the plant hobby. And it was I 
who requested a link to the forum from his site. We got to talking, and 
I did *not* bring up the subscriptions page. But it seems he is willing 
to send me a list of folks who ordered from him last year so we can 
cross-check, as long as we promise to keep it confidential. Then we'll 
know for sure how many of his customers were AGA members.

How about both TFH and FAMA? Scott, does AFM allow you to plug AGA in 
each issue? Even better, would they give you a discount on an ad?

How do we track ad response? Perhaps your contribution is more in the 
proper implementation than the idea.
