Re: Acrobat

Overall, adobe acrobat is probably the best overall format for a number of 
reasons:

1.  It is the only format, other than plain text, which is readable on just 
about any platform.

2.  Yes, you can copy and paste text and/or URLs from an acrobat file, unless 
the creator of the file has delibertly disabled that function by using the 
security functions of acrobat exchange

3.  It can be printed as formatted by anyone receiving the file

4.  It saves the AKA time and money by reducing mailing costs, printing 
costs, and labor.  This savings could, in part, be rebated to the members in 
the form of a dues decrease for those electing to receive the BNL 
electronically rather than on paper.  It would also free up more funds for 
educational programs, acquisition of fish for N&R, and production of quality 
killifish literature

I suggest that a referendum be held by including a ballot in a BNL offering 
the membership a choice among three options:

1.  Simply changing the BNL over to 100% electronic distribution by a fixed 
date (1/1/2001)

2. Adopting email as the primary distribution channel, but allowing members 
to pay more for hardopy BNLs sent via USPS

3.  Retaining the current system
