<VV> advertising rates????

[Vairtec Corporation]

Bob, I too was confused by the ad rate information published in the 
March issue.  On page 6, where you noted it reads "To amend 
Communique advertising rates to the April 2009 rates, plus 15%," it 
also reads "Space rates for advertising in the Communique have been reduced."

When I read that, I said, "huh?"

Still, since the same paragraph you cited also mentions "rollback" of 
advertising rates, I concluded that a rate reduction was the intent 
and that the wording got garbled somehow.  I'd be annoyed as you as 
are, except, as a newsletter editor at the local level I have been 
occasionally responsible for confusing or incorrect information 
slipping out -- we're all human.

So, in that light I found your "who is watching the store at CORSA" 
remark to be gratuitous.  But on the other hand, I have serious 
questions about the current leadership at CORSA.  One example is the 
recent dust-up over the Western Director's position.  Another is 
scuttlebutt I hear about the process of revamping the CORSA website, 
a process to which the word "process" does not appear to 
apply.  Still another is the proposal to offer a membership level 
that does not include the Communique, be it printed or 
electronic.  Excuse me, but who is the demographic for THAT membership?
