Congrats Ripp and Goodluck, those jobs can be very stressful. How much do you have to fill?

I knew a girl from school who started doing this job but on the lower end of the market (I think she had 1/2 page to fill) and she would phone relatives to take out ads when she got desperate :P
Poker is all about the long long long long long long long term . . .
