[AT] Lancaster Farming ads

[charlie hill]

Not me Mike.  I'll be sorry they are gone for sure but I don't blame you one 
bit.  You've gone beyond the call of duty for years and I think we all 
appreciate it.  I've seen many listings in
those ads that I wished I could take advantage of but it never worked out 
for me.  One thing I might suggest.  If Lancaster Farming is a free 
publication they will probably send it to anyone, anywhere.  I get a farm 
paper out of Alabama every month and have for years.  They don't care about 
the postage because they need to keep their circulations numbers up so they 
can sell more ads and/or charge more for them.

Thanks.

Charlie
