Hi Michael; I fully agree we need to do what we, as individuals, can in promoting S. Articles, exhibiting at meetings and shows, etc.
OTOH, the RMC inside cover ad exists, so suggesting that it could be improved to draw more positive attention is not a stretch. I rather doubt that there are many Flyer collector/operators reading RMC who don't know about the various companies featured in the ad, so it IS already an attempt to expand the market for S. That can only help the manufacturers. Pieter E. Roos --- On Wed, 4/27/11, Michael <[email protected]> wrote: > I still think we're approaching this > the wrong way.
