i'm having a hard time understanding what is so difficult about the concept of ads vs. free pages. do you all understand what it costs do create a publication? make it simple - the more paid pages, the more free pages. you want more articles, etc., send in more ads. susan has NO control over how many ads are submitted and can only work with what she gets. it's not about "rules and regulations", it's sensible publishing. a slight switch of topic ... are you all aware that there are a great many long time members who do not own or use a computer?. progress isn't always what it seems. diane Diane Silver-Strasser Silstra German Shepherds _Skatiebug'z_ (http://skatiebugz.shutterfly.com/) The online store for everything German Shepherd and then some! _http://skatiebugz.blogspot.com_ (http://skatiebugz.blogspot.com/) Skater's Blog In a message dated 8/5/2010 12:07:27 P.M.

Or about health issues we are going thru? Or AR articles? Who decides what the Review can and can't do? Is this information available somewhere? I am not understanding why advertising takes precedence over everything else. I also would like to know can we, the membership, change the Review rules and regulations? Because if it is all about a profit vs not making a profit, I would rather have a review that is interesting to many people/venues than just one venue and not make a profit. As for pictures/ads, they are pricey and I can see how performance people would not want to put their money into that, but what if 4 or 5 times a yr we had a section where performance people can submit smaller pics of them with their dogs doing their thing? for a much much smaller fee? We all agree that the lack of interest is killing us, so now what do we do? Pam Msg: #4 in digest rom: Stormy Hope <Stormy435@xxxxxxx> ubject: Re: The Review ate: Thu, 5 Aug 2010 11:03:31 -0700 I asked the question a while back and perhaps I missed the answer. oes the availability of pages for articles depend on the ad revenue or that issue? I mean, if 15 people sent in great articles about arious subjects, and the articles took 10-20 pages, would they not be rinted because the pages weren't "available" due to low number of ads hat month? I miss David's great articles. Oh, for those who missed them, some are at the GSDCA Legislation ebsite under HIS name:-) Stormy On Aug 5, 2010, at 10:52 AM, Jessica MacMillan wrote: > I am the first person to criticize the Review since I am in the same shoes as Susan... What I see are a lot of complainers and not many doers... All of you that have a complaint about not enough articles - do some research and write an article. If you want more ads for performance dogs, do a black and white ad for your performance dog or a dog you bred. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2010.
