Hence my question.  I like all the positive press and contact with Jes
and Danimo et all in this issue and others in past issues.  I'm just
trying to gauge where the tipping point is of "working hand in hand
with a slick and professional periodical to make sure theat we
continue to be well represented" and "pumping them with so much
information that they end up being viewed as a sycophant and it
tarnishes both of us a bit."

Just making sure we make the best of this already good-situation...and
don't work backwards a bit.
