<DIV>Thank you Kent.</DIV>

<DIV>To go one step further, we all know that officers are not allowed =
to
advertise their office. I might be wrong on this, but when a =
Board member
is elected, are they not encouraged to send a news release to a local
newspaper announcing the election? This would considered news, not
advertisement. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>By the same token, the web site only makes mention I am a =
CTE in the
PTG. If people reading this do not know the meaning of the
acronym, that is not my concern. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Although I know CTE's are not allowed to advertise that
status, if the subject comes up, I =
think they should be
allowed to tell a customer they are one. </DIV>
