Maybe have a preview available for free but the really eye catching articles would prompt you for a password and give links to become a member and receive a password to view?

I would prefer that only paid members be able to access it, but if having free versions available on the Net would help boost TSA, TCMA, NSS, and Grotto membership, I would be all for it. When I was the editor of the DFWG Oztotl Caver newsletter, I made this same suggestion to have it available online free, as well. But, my suggestion was shot down as there was fear that having it available for free would discourage joining the Grotto. It's still not avaialble free and membership is still a problem. FWIW, I have contacted Jim Kennedy and thrown my hat into the ring as the new Texas Caver, if membership/Board of Directors will have me. Maybe a TSA membership vote is in order on the above. Just my 1/50th of a dollar. Mark Alman k...@aol.com wrote: I would heartily agree with Gill [The TEXAS CAVER--RIP??? (Gill Ediger)] that the Texas Caver should be placed on the Internet and replace the paper publication. I would suggest a trial period of one year to two years to really get a feel how this may work out. The longer trial period would test the process of handing off the electronic publication to a new editor. --------------------------------- Yahoo!
