I think the NSS should pursue the concept that the TSA and other organizations have. Give people an option for an online version or mailed version (or both). With TSA and some grottos that have tried that approach, the number of people who've preferred the online version vs printed version and dropped the cost of printing significantly.
Some time ago, I had a water leak that soaked a box of NSS News and TSA Texas Cavers. They sort of melted by the time I discovered they were water soaked. I can't recover those copies but could if they were all digitized. Stuff happens, even if you have a printed copy, having a digital copy available isnt' a bad thing.

This news has generated considerable recent comment on the Western US caving lists, and has caught the NSS Editor by surprise (he hadn't be informed of the pending proposal). For more info, consult an NSS BOG member. Frank NSS 10816F
