Gordon,

Thanks for the helpful note and the kind words about the "Local Christmas booklet" manual. That really is a great project, and I know really just about anyone on these forums could do one where they live. Unless they live in the boonies like me. : )

PPPM. Great advice! I've written it down and stuck it right over my monitor. (I better look at it every time I log on to Ezine Ad Auction from now on.)

I'd rather not dissect the solo ad offer here, but in looking at it again, I see that it ASSUMED at least some pre-existing knowledge of my products. That worked fine for my own "folks", but those who know me not from Adam could very well have been baffled by the whole thing. Oh well... this is how I learn.

Thanks again,
Jim Erskine
