Hi Evan I would say leave the review as is, let those that cant afford the color ad's pay for them, as they are usually the ones showing the most, and have the most money to support the breed:) Steven In a message dated 1/31/2011 6:45:16 P.M.

I was on the board when it was decided to make it a normal size magazine. I was against the change, but went with it because we were told it would reduce the cost. Also a page could contain two ads and still be readable. I think it is funny that now there is talk about reducing the size to make it cheaper. Gary shopped the printing costs and found we were getting the best deal. Gary is involved in printing. There was debate about the size, making it bi-monthly, quarterly, going to all black and white, (to give a level playing field since so many can't afford color) and other options. I know the board would appreciate input from the membership, as they didn't make a decision, but looked at that as one way to cut costs.
