Sue, the rules are if you're in the first <so and so many ppl>, you get listed in print. Otherwise online.

I've never had a problem with that before. Almost always send them in the day they come out. Doesn't mean it couldn't happen. It's just that they completely omitted me last week. Getting printed is half the fun.
Thanks
