To All users in this area,

First off I would like to apologize to all of you who have been
insulted by our company's  blatant advertising on the net.  Actually
we have only received one message stating that the net was not the
place for our messages.

We have received 6 orders in the last month from people who have read
about us in this area and had no idea such a service was even
available (in the price range that would be acceptable to the general
public) We have sent out over 50 brochures from readers in this area.
 I feel that this service can be of great help  to many people out
there and  to keep the prices down  we have chosen to advertise in
free areas like the net et.  Due to this form of advertising we have
kept our cost down to about one-third of the “industry” average.

The other advantage to passing on information and advertising through
the net is that the information is very current.  Many of us use the
net, c-serve, AOL et because the information is current, even monthly
magazines are out of date,  by-monthly magazines are horribly out of
date.

I also feel that this forum is very open but only has a few messages
a day on it so we feel that we are not over burdening you readers
with loads of junk.  We have also made a point to put a dollar amount
in the topic area so that people not interested do not have to waste
their time/money by reading our ads.

I would be interested in what people have to say about this subject. 
I know I like it so I am biased.

I thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you all.
