George certainly makes good sense. After all, we vote on our political leaders 
(?) every two to four years.

Many organizations now offer two membership rates:

1) Includes the cost of general newsletter production, web hosting, and
other support for the organization, and those members get a digital copy of
the publication.

2) Includes the above costs plus the cost of printing and mailing the
publications to those who need or want hardcopies. It is understood that
with fewer printed copies, the cost per copy will increase and those asking
for hardcopies will pay a higher rate than when the publications were
printed for everyone.

I won't be able to make the next TSA meeting, but hope this dual membership
rate is voted on. Digital members should not have to subsidize hardcopy
members, and hardcopy members should not have to do without a product that
is important to them and relatively simple for the organization to produce.

We have already.  It was decided to offer both.  Libraries in particular
(including the TSS) don't like digital publications.  And bibliophiles
like myself and Mixon definitely prefer old-fashioned hard copy, and I
don't mean cheap, single-sided inkjet copies that fade over time and
bleed if they get damp.

You know, we can easily put this to a vote at the next meeting.
