I just wanted to note that I am getting alot of e-mail in response to my postings.....and many of them "apologize" for "bothering" me. I would not be as obvious on the the net as I am, if I didn't want to hear from people. Sure, sometimes it IS hard not to sarcastically respond when I get a note saying "advertise more" or something equally obvious...but the reality is that I learn alot from watching the net...and from the responses I get, directly and indirectly. I have received numerous notes about the new advertising campaign on campuses, and hope to receive more, so that I can do a better job of evaluating whether what we are doing is targeted correctly. You all help with those decisions. I am sorry that I can't respond more positively to all the notes saying "please advertise on my campus" but with your help......we will get there. -- Howard S.
