Thanks Butch! People can print their own damned hard copies!
Here's an idea - let's just pool a portion of the dues money and communally buy a good quality color printer (since that is a fairly expensive iten for a lot of individuals and probably most of us don't have one) and then mail it out. Oh wait... ________________________________ From: Butch Fralia <bfra...@maverickgrotto.org> To: Butch Fralia <bfra...@maverickgrotto.org>; mark.al...@l-3com.com; Keith Goggin <ke...@sbcglobal.net>; Lyndon Tiu <l...@alumni.sfu.ca>; texascavers@texascavers.com Sent: Friday, January 16, 2009 10:36:28 AM Subject: RE: [Texascavers] The TEXAS CAVER Is Now Online!!!! - Bug fixes You can now update your profile online and change the state on both registration and your profile.

I never understood that registering for the member area would determine whether someone got a hard copy or electronic copy. Whether you get a hard copy or electronic copy is a membership option (online anyway). Electronic copies should be available to all members but some members will opt to get their copy there vs. a hard copy. Personally I prefer the electronic version because I’m swamped in “hard copy.” Butch P.S., I’ve noted a few folks Mark, Lyndon finding bugs, I’ll get those attended to asap.

We can look into this option, Keith. Another item for your "To Do List", huh. Butch?

Maybe I've misread something, but seems to me that regardless of whether or not you pay more for a hard copy the digital copies should be available to all paid members. ________________________________ From:"mark.al...@l-3com.com" <mark.al...@l-3com.com> To: Lyndon Tiu <l...@alumni.sfu.ca>; texascavers@texascavers.com Sent: Friday, January 16, 2009 7:40:24 AM Subject: RE: [Texascavers] The TEXAS CAVER Is Now Online!!!! No, Lyndon. We agreed to strongly encourage everyone to sign up in the Members Section on the TSA website. By doing so, this would indicate that you would be accessing the site for each TC that comes out. If you're on this Members List, you will NOT be receiving a hard copy. We will gauge the response. We have 20 signed up, so far. We may have to tweak this setup and, possibly, revisit in April. More than one person has suggested going all electronic on the TC and charging more for those that want the hard copy. Lots of ideas and discussions and that's a good thing. See you this evening, Lyndon. Drive careful and thanks for helping out!

Q: I forgot how we agreed on this. Is it by default, starting Q1 2009 - that everyone will NOT get a mailed hard copy unless they specifically request for it? And they only have to request once and all future copies will be mailed out to them or is it one request per issue? Depending on the A to the above Q. An option is to sit this out and wait and observe how things go. If the majority are happy with the electronic version and only a few are being mailed out. Then we have solved the primary goal of having electronic copies - saving money. I think a majority will opt for the electronic copy anyways. Only a few will want mailed hard copies. For the few that want it, let them have it. I (not getting a hard copy) personally don't mind paying the same membership amount as a person who is getting his hard copy. I believe most don't mind either. -- Lyndon Tiu --------------------------------------------------------------------- Visit our website: http://texascavers.com To unsubscribe, e-mail: texascavers-unsubscr...@texascavers.com For additional commands, e-mail: texascavers-h...@texascavers.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- Visit our website: http://texascavers.com To unsubscribe, e-mail: texascavers-unsubscr...@texascavers.com For additional commands, e-mail: texascavers-h...@texascavers.com
