Hi Jan,
I was only trying to be humorous about the small type, I most certainly was
not blaming Nancy Pickard.
I know all too well how the bean-counters make a decision to shave a few
pennies without any concern or even a clue about the effects. My accountant
has pointed out that I could save a few hundred dollars a year if I used a
different type of setup and binding for my reports. But I spend the extra
dollars because I feel it makes the reports look a LOT more impressive and
more authoritative.
BTW, 'Twilight' is pretty good reading. A bit different from the rest of her
series, more introspective about Jenny Cain.
