Still catching up, after a week in the kitchen...

I may be wrong but I had a feeling that some while ago IOLI 'asked

You aren't wrong :)
Like you, I don't see what the big deal is about having a
moderate-length subscription renewal reminder *once every 3 months*.
I'm not sure how effective it might be, since I have no idea how much
crossover there is between Arachne and IOLI but I don't see much harm
in it. Or in any other group, doing the same thing -- quarterly or oce
a year -- if it seems worth their time and effort.
Personally, I don't see much difference between Laurie's (quarterly)
reminder about IOLI subscription and the various groups' (irregular)
announcements and reports about lace days and workshops, or the Lace
Guild's (quarterly) announcements about their website update. Every
one of those announcements serves one and the same purpose -- keeping
lacemaking alive and healthy; something we all want. I must admit to
reading -- and vicariously enjoying -- all of those announcements and
reports even when the events are taking place across the world from me
and there's no chance of my participating in them.
This said, I also like Bev's idea of sticking a permanent reminder
("check your coming IOLI Bulletin for subscription expiration date!")
into someone's signature. But what I'd like even better is having
regular, quarterly, updates of the IOLI *website* performed and
announced on Arachne. Each with a reminder to subscribe or re-subscribe
:)
