Although the difference in before and after tax amounts were always there I had not realized how great the difference was. It would be helpful if all advertising was quoting the same items so real comparisons could be made.Lack of information can be as damaging as erroneous information. Thanks for your time. condsgt@westol.com Edgar A. Shallenberger
