I got the impression from your use of the word "WE" your earlier posts, in this thread, that you were already spoken for. If so, I hope your significant other does not get pissed with your flirtations;-D

Actually, you touched on a question of organization. Do I keep my REI business separate from your publication business? Do I have my REI business pay for ads in my publication just like any other advertiser? My personal, uninformed belief is that REI and the publishing should act and behave like to separate businesses. This way way if you have trouble with one (finacial, litigation etc) it will not nescessarily affect the other.I will have to consult professional help about this.
