Free to them, maybe.  It cost *me* a good 20 minutes of a carefully crafted
letter to what I assumed was a new area mother, offering suggestions,
alternatives, the time and location of our next LLL meeting, even the name
and number of someone else who might be interested in becoming a dealer
since I was not.

This was the most expensive piece of advertising - from *my* perspective -
I've ever seen... and I never even saw the product.  Now, of course, I hope
I never do.
