Let's see. I'm supposed to pay $20 a year _and_ print my own copies of the Texas Caver? No thanks, I'll pass on that.
$20 is little more than the cost of 2 6-packs of good beer. That money should NOT be looked upon as subscription money but as a contribution to the good works of the TSA. The $20 membership fee should not be looked upon as having anything at all to do with the production and mailing cost of The TEXAS CAVER. The CAVER is free to members--by default. And, yes, if you bear the cost of printing your online copy at home you have the added benefit of getting a color copy for your archives. Consider the cost of printing it to be your subscription cost if you really have a desire to worry about that. It will probably be a good bit less than $20--a cost which will no longer have to be borne by the TSA by the way. This is a simple problem with a simple solution. It involves so little money on any caver's part as to be virtually inconsequential. That cannot be the real basis of anyone's arguing against it. Abject silliness, I say.
