From late 2000 through 2003, inclusively, I maintained a schedule of local events, 
copied from the Schoolcraft County Chamber of Commerce web site. Since late 2000 
to early 2007, I received, and posted, only three events from three separate 
personal requests. Beyond John Stewart, of Nelson Shoes, at no time was I ever 
contacted to exchange links with local web sites, touting local businesses, 
attractions, or activities. At no time was I ever contacted by any local 
organization to promote any public activity.

I acknowledge, 01/17/07, that my offer of free activity advertising was a waste 
of my time and resources, and hereby withdraw my offer to post any event. For 
those that did not get the message concerning the value of internet promotion 
and advertising, or chose to ignore my six year offer, due to political reasons, 
the community at large loses.

For those parochial activists in the community, that "still don't get it", too 
many times, small frogs in small ponds have small horizons, that do not extend 
to include others in the community, or outside, with different perspectives
and horizons.

Regardless of my disappointment, the offer was worth it to see John Stewart, of 
Nelson Shoes, embrace internet technology and put it to work to make money for 
him, at:

The offer was worth it to have Al Burns request my help to promote the 
Manistique Salmon Derby, and help make it the success it is:

Adios.
