Excellent plea Wayne. Why don't we take it a step further. Every GFA member gets two copies per issue - the one they keep and the one they put in a public reading place. If they don't normally keep their copy then they have two copies to distribute in this way. I'm sure the marginal cost of producing & posting the mag. would be cheap advertising. Anybody out there have the numbers??
