Very small; microscopic even.

"...noting that advertisers are showing signs they're starting to plan for 2003."

Planning on going elsewhere.
Yea, sure; &, this guy's sounding *happy*?
~oy vey.

Reminds me of the copy of "Rosie" {spit} which has been *mysteriously* showing up monthly -- uninvited -- appearing once again, just yeasterday.
On the front cover & in the corner appears in small print the words I'd been waiting for since the *thing* started showing up in my mailbox:

-Rosie's Farwell Edition-

Well alright then!!
Better late than never, I always say.
Adios *Rosie*!

...next up, Salon.com.

"'There's small signs that things are improving,' he said,..."

The larger question is why is seeBS wasting their time on this penny stock loser??? They're hoping to raise awareness of Salon's plight in an effort to solicit a sugar daddy for a bail out? Unfreepingbelievable!

Rosie's(ptui) farewll issue, eh? heh,heh.....that's likely a keeper. Might come in handy for use near that jpeg you like so much ; )

Rosie's farewell edition would be interesting enough, but Rosie's Farwell edition could be pyrotechnic!
