I have to agree with what Laura wrote. I feel that lack of advertising in the Review is a direct result of the Review coming out late,month after month,not to mention the ads that never made it in at all. It's too expensive,and too important to the owners, to advertise when you have no assurance of when it will get seen,or maybe not at all. I have nothing personal against Gail,as she is a very nice gal,but in spite of her column saying things were going to change,they haven't. As far as her needing "help",this came up a few months back and it was made clear that she has assistants and that they weren't asking for anymore help. Then,you add in months' old show news and you have a lot of fading interest in the present state of the Review. Maybe they would consider allowing "contributing field editors" to send in various articles each month and if they could get the Review back to coming out on time,I think more people might be willing to advertise again. As far as show results,I'm not sure what the answer is there,but seeing in December what happened last April is not getting it anymore. Again,this is not meant as an attack on Gail. It is just a realistic assessment that some changes are in order. JMO,Jean ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
