[Fmpro] question about ads in Europe

Fri Apr 13 13:24:20 GMT 2007

No sweat--I just thank you so much for asking!

I did end up getting the job, so all of the help and direction will not be 
going to waste!  Once again, this list is such a phenomenal resource for 
those of us who are still new to the industry, and I thank all of you who 
are so willing to share the wealth of your knowledge.
