Groop,

You may remember that I wrote in March about my dilemma with

Verizion and my yellow page ad. Take a look at the differences.

What I submitted is on the right and their creation is on the left.

I received a call today from a rep of the company. The final words to me
were. The phone company "May" send a proof but may also publish

without a signed approval. Talk about a one-sided contract.

I asked her this question. What if you published an ad for Coke and you
changed their font? Her response " Well, you can come up with many
examples"...  The only compensation offered was money off the ad for

next year's book.  Some compensation.

Court? I have enough evidence if court was the choice.
Pay? Do I need the aggravation?

I'm still not sure.

I told the rep I would get back to her.
