I just got my gorgeous hard copy of the Caver in the mail today, and
have to say that as an old fart, I really like getting publications in
the mail at seemingly random intervals, and sitting down in a chair to
read them. Then, I enjoy putting them on my bookshelf.
One thing I do not enjoy is driving to Office Max to stock up on ink
cartridges.
If it takes another $5.00 a year to keep them coming, I think I can
skip a pack of cigarettes in order to make that happen.
BTW, Thanks Mark, for an excellent issue! As a former editor, I
thought i knew all about the unsung heroics of editing, but your tale
of woe tops them all. Please keep up the good work!

I believe the problem with the bulk rate has been that we are not
sending out enough copies to get the bulk rate. The truth is, also,
that print media is in decline. I believe that it is probably time
to revisit the two-tier membership option and gradually phase that in.

I'm in the process of pursuing the bulk mail rate/permit for us,
Logan, as I plan on continuing to do the newsletter for the
foreseeable future.

I am one of those antiquated bibliophiles who prefers a hard copy of
The Texas Caver, but I certainly support the use of electronic
copies for all that prefer them. I would be willing to pay the
extra cost of printed issues.
