Mark, The Texascavers and all my mailing lists do allow attachments,
We are finally getting into the 1990's technology...

I agree with you, Marvin.
On occasion, when the picking were slim for the TC, I had to resort to
the same thing in order to get it published.
No harm in that.
Not everyone has access to these listserves (is that a word?) and,
since attachments aren’t allowed, I would ping the writers for photos
to go along with their offerings to further flesh out their report.
“Put a little meat on their bones”, in other words.
One’s gotta do what one’s gotta do when the pickings are a little slim.
A report is a report.
My main query yesterday was not just how the TC was doing, but how is
the TSA doing, as in membership numbers and trends.
Organized clubs are struggling, including many grottos and the NSS.
How does the TSA look?

For the record - and I'm not mad at anyone; I think this is a good
discussion - the Texas caving news appearing in the latest issue of
the NSS News is in Buford Pruitt's "Underground Online" column.
Buford's method - as I understand it - is trolling the chatter on
various blogs, email lists, etc. across the nation and compiling the
interesting bits in his column. That is how a Colorado Bend trip
report, a Government Canyon trip report, and a report on the latest
Deep Cave trip ended up in the NSS News. They were not sent to the
News as an article to be published but were instead picked up by
Buford off of this very email listserve. That's great. Cavers across
the nation and the world need to see that Texas cavers go caving and
do interesting things.
I know that occasionally the three people who wrote those reports for
Texascavers.com also compile the happenings in their respective
projects in a bit more of a readable and concise fashion with pictures
and maps and submit an article to the Texas Caver. That's also a great
thing. If the editors of the Texas Caver want to pull things of the
email list and publish it, more power to them. I'll continue to
support the magazine and the TSS and news about caving in Texas
wherever it appears.
