But that is exactly what the BOT does. They claim that the dues cover the
cost of producing and mailing the JAKA and BNL. So eliminate a large portion
of the production and mailing costs, and dues can be reduced for everyone. I
suggest offering to send the BNL via e-mail, but keep the JAKA as a snail
mail product. This way, snail-mailers get a benefit of lower cost that is
generated by the e-mailer; and e-mailers get the benefit of instant
gratification.
Hey, if I could trade all my books in for e-versions, either pdf files or
CDs, I would have a lot more space to breed my killies!
As with ANY club, there will always be some services that some members will
take advantage of, and some services they won't. The services that are used
by each member varies. I, for instance, have never, and I never plan to, use
the video purchase program. I prefer printed material. Does that mean that
the AKA should not offer it? Of course not, it just means I won't be taking
advantage of it. The same should be true for electronic services, such as
FEL on the website. Some will take advantage, some won't. And if enough
people volunteer to receive the BNL via e-mail in pdf format, then that
would hold the line on dues increases for everyone.
