Jeremy,
	I'm not sure where I come down on this argument; I haven't  and
probably
won't take the time to examine the difference between the profit
potential of
both methods.  However, how does contracting out the work create "a
logistical
and moral nightmare"?  Isn't this how 99% of all publishers run their
business?
It's not like the suggestion is far fetched and pushing GZG into
unexplored
territory.
