I would say there has been huge conversations and debates around this issue at TSA meetings and among past and present officers... Currently the consensus I remember is that to make it available on-line would be an all or nothing thing. We run so close to the bulk mail discount that removing people from the mailing causes a large increase in postage for the remaining issues being mailed. The way the caver is printed is cheaper based on a bulk run.
There are some copyright things that have been discussed in the past too but I think the TSA has been working on those. So who knows, come to a meeting, bring it up and enjoy the lively discussion about it. Cheers!

Very thorough and informative. Has any thought been given to having the Texas Caver available for viewing and downloading online for PAID TSA members? For those that want this option, it would save on postage and printing costs and the savings could be used for cave preservation and acquisition. Just my 1/50th of a dollar. Keep up the good work!

The November 2005 issue of the ANL is available for downloading at : http://www.cavetexas.org/anl.html It is the intent of the editor to post the ANL monthly to the TSA website. Due to the prohibitive cost of printing and mailing a monthly hardcopy publication, the ANL will be distributed to all cavers in a digital pdf format which can be downloaded free-of-charge from the TSA website at : http://www.cavetexas.org/ --------------------------------- Yahoo!
