Sorry, not even close. Since, as I clearly stated, I'm in the POP
business, I'm either a member of or well aware of the associations you
list (kind of like telling a docor to check out the AMA site and start
searching). You'd be a lot closer if your first pick was the National
Directory of Advertisers. I'm looking for list providers.

Also, pointing me to a couple of recruitment sites is pretty weak.
Like I said, I'm solidly in the business; we already do quick research
and ongoing  recruiting . I'm looking for insightful research. Care to
try again?

What a lackluster job. I suggest you read your Google researcher
guidelines and, more importantly, check out how others answer
questions. I'm a regular user here and for the first time I've wasted
my money. Please pass by my future queries.
