It's touching, really. I don't know if you've noticed or not, but there's this, uh, weak economy thing going on. There are two way to respond to it, as a publisher. One is to focus on profitability, and, you know, keep the powder dry. Another is to give away ads 1/2 price, run a larger, less profitable issue, and hope that that create the perception of market dominance. The people who matter know the difference. And, I suspect deep down, you're one of them. No worries here, mate. Joseph, thanks for your concern about our paper, and about me personally. It’s touching, really.
