Advertisers on the list

[Guest guest]

I agree with you Jeff. Yes, it would be nice if the advertiser would take

part in the group diolog, but I'm not sure it needs to be a requirement.

Sometimes it isn't possible. I would also like to see advertisers take part

in the potlucks, so we can get to meet and know them.

My two cents-- Linda
