It is a cr*pshoot as to who has been making reasonable suggestions as to marketing, because previous efforts have been folly. Many of those who might have been putting you down have shown little competency to be able to make the judgement that they have pronounced. Future efforts might be competent, and I am encouraged with some of the response and discourse that I have seen so far. With a competent marketing person, the need for aggressive advocacy will be lessened. The need for aggressiveness was a result of klutzy fumbling from previous efforts, and the future bodes well. -- John | Never try to teach a pig to sing, dyson@iquest.net | it makes one look stupid jdyson@nc.com | and it irritates the pig.
