I’m sure they are gonna try to get people to subscribe tot he electronc version, and eventually cease the printed version. I hope they don’t , but i bet ya that’s what may happen.

The second issue I received was only a duplicate.

Yikes, I have subscribed to SN for years and never heard of this many problems. I hope they get things straightened out. Can’t imagine life without SN each month.

Oh, fine. I just went and got a digital subscription. I don’t think my sister-in-law ever is going to get a hold of her copies and loan them to me!

I only received one issue in the mail…what is the 2nd issue? As a matter of fact, I never received my January issue…had to download it off the web.

I also received 2 issues of the Singing News this month! Did that happen with everyone? If they are in financial trouble, this could be devastating.

Also, the letter from Matt Dibler was very sad to read.

Yes, I agree.

I haven’t ruled out the possibility of doing that someday. The site gets enough traffic that it wouldn’t necessarily be a waste of money for the advertiser. I just haven’t done it yet.

My preference would be for something subdued, kind of like the little images I’ve had on the right for several years now.

I have wondered if you ever would think of doing ads on here. I respect and appreciate your keeping it free from the random stuff that Google would love to plaster it with … and since I use Ad-Block myself I don’t get much of that stuff anyway.

At the same time, if you had a way to do targeted SG-related stuff yourself, even on a separate page, and if it really were useful info, it might be a win-win-win (you-advertisers-consumers) situation.

If I had the money (undoubtedly what the groups are saying!), I’d love to.

Thing is, though, you typically advertise something where you have a chance of recouping costs. Since the site is free and I don’t sell any advertising, I don’t make any money from this, and I can only put so much money into supporting a hobby!
