[Alpacasite] Re: Farm and Ranch Guide decisions

Tim,

For what it's worth, in my case it was not presented negatively. I
was not upset by the charge, simply curious enough to ask if clients
would have paid the fee so I could better evaluate what level to
participate at this year. If I had heard that they would have paid
the fee, you would see my 1/3 page ad in the Guide again this year.
Again, it will be interesting to see what the year brings and what
is offered for 2007.
