Walnut Creek CDROM does, and it's a more than effective advertising vehicle for them if the advertisement is done right (and it's an operating expense they can deduct from taxes :). It's simply, as I said before, the case that neither WC nor us have the kinds of personnel to handle advertising on that scale and so we don't do it. $15K is a lot cheaper than a full-time advertising exec, and that's what we *really* can't afford here. :-) > Besides, that was a damn good text.
