Isn't it a bit late for Mark's sanity? ;-) Cheers, Stefan

But why should the majority of the TSA membership pay for a few people that want the high quality? If the majority of the whole membership wants to continue paying, I'm ok with it, but it always seems that the people who want the hardcopy is in the minority. My opinion, we put a monetary value with it, if you want a printed hard copy, mailed to you, you get to pay extra :) That would help cover the rising costs of printing and mailing it, and would push more people to use the digital copy. I know a lot of people are against this, no one wants to spend more money, but lets be realistic for a bit and humor me. Prices are going to continue to go up on postage and printing costs. TSA is in the black right now, largely due to the few who went Digital. As overhead continues to go up, do we adjust membership fees? My vote, drop mailing copies (cept to those who want to pay a surcharge for it) and go Digital completely. This would save TSA a lot of money, save Mark's sanity, and free up a lot of TSA money for other things. You could even drop rates for TSA membership if you wanted.
