Whoops sorry I read that again. Like I said I should not comment!!! ________________________________ From: Kathy Hall <kathy.m.hall@xxxxxxx> To: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thu, February 11, 2010 7:17:53 PM Subject: Thoughts on Review ________________________________ #2 below says that the online version would only be available to anyone that advertises. Why is that? Why not give the membership the option on rather they would just prefer online or a hard copy? If half says only online mail the other half (save printing, postage...). I personally have not bought a newspaper since it went online. I do not stack up reviews- maybe there are others like me or maybe not, I tend to be alittle different than the norm. I have not commented for a long time because I tend to get my head bit off- so PLEASE this is just an idea. Kathy Hall P.S. It is a beautiful magazine and I enjoy it, Equally I enjoy Becky Dickson's website GSDbydesign >> 1) Control costs for output of as close to an error-free publication as > possible, both for online and in print.
