Yes, that's precisely what I've stated. We can segment our ads by
groups, and the PSA group is distinct and separate, and can be run by
itself. Of course, we reserve the right to withdraw this program at any
time (as a result of bandwidth and other cost/benefit considrations, but,
in that event, we would continue to include the PSAs within our typical
ad groupings). We would also consider providing our software to an
appropriate host to specifically provide this service.

We had to adjust the ads to meet the requirements of our distribution.
In the future, we'll have the organizations (or probably their ad
agencies) submit to spec. (Different groups will allow us to provide
differing sizes.)
>Finally, I would appreciate if you could provide more information about

I think all of the information is available at our site, but I would be
happy to answer any additional questions you may have.
