not that anyone asked me, but......
how about RAG just up the rate for our advertising costs to match what MACNA is asking for? If they want an even swap, then just raise the price of a banner and various advertising threads.
Otherwise, this thread appears to have run it's course to an embarrasing {for both of you two} standstill in a public forum. I have yet to see a good reason why RAG should promote MACNA this year. I also have yet to see a good reason why RAG should attend Macna this year.
Too bad. I enjoyed attending the previous year's events.
However, as in the past, as the date of the event approaches, and there's many booths remaining unfilled, perhaps this debate can finally be laid to rest as the committee will be scrambling to fill those empty spaces. But I'm beginning to think that by that time it'll be too late for them & us. Oh well. There's always MACNA 08 and Imac. No big deal. The best thing I like about Pittsburg anyway is the part where I get to leave and go home.
