To the author, PLEASE look at what you have posted. How many persons do you expect will actually take you seriously, when it appears you are unable to find a word processor that allows the use of proper text formatting? While the information you have posted may be of pertinence and value to the reader, you've lost all effectiveness by allowing it to go out in what can only be described as a mess. If you have the option, don't use a "cut & paste" to enter your messages. You might be an excellent typist, but at this moment I find it difficult to take the ad seriously, particularly from an organization that wishes to teach me how to PUBLISH. Professionalism is of paramount importance, especially on the Net. This is not your home town, anymore... Your message is being sent to the world. If you don't take yourself seriously enough to provide a professional and quality image, don't expect heavy returns on your advertising. There are numerous sources of information on effective advertising available. Don't leave your reader wondering. Give it to them straight, and in the manner they expect. If you wouldn't print this in a newspaper this way, don't send it to the Net this way. Out here, you are your own worst enemy. Not a flame, this message provided for educational purposes.
