Firstly Lynn, being that I am a consultant with Prodigy, I'll inform you
that We have quite a few folks from Prodigy who not only frequent this list,
but have been on it as recippients of this list for years now. I, in fact,
have seen to that as I have merely insisted that they make themselves privy
to what people say about them and the company and keep eyes and ears peeled
out for suggestions on how to improve their product. Illustrations just
like what you're referring to are exactly the reason. These things are
entirely unacceptable and they need to know that. That was my reasoning
behind it all way from the very beginning. I'm not going any further than
that.
Veronica, You're hysterical and phantabulous all at the same time! You're a
blast!!

>> When I called them, they had a print packet they said hey could send

>> materials to me "because it's their material" and she was tired of hem
>> giving out the number to the organization I had just called.
>> pparently it happens all the time, according to the receptionist -- no

>> ssociation have anything they offer themselves other than in print, or
