Excellent Q! Since the majority of the dues collected, at least in the past, were intended to cover publication/postage cost.......Maybe we need to look at the cost of producing an average Caver, figure in the mailing cost, multiple by 12, then figure the difference in dues and come up with a workable formula to make as many as possible, as happy as possible. I would, for one, like to know what the cost of the Caver, per issue really is. Let's do the math before we all are insulting each other more. (Right Gil? ...the USA comment)
If the TSA wishes to give $$$ away to noble causes, then they can do fund raisers for specific donations, just like grottos & the NSS.

My e-mail addresses are all over the place, and I get about two spam messages a week. If you insist on running your own server, you could still use some other place for your e-mail address that has a decent spam filter. And I wouldn't worry about your e-mail address being on the TSA web site, password-protected or not. At least one of your friends probably has something infecting his computer that has sent off his address book to someplace in Russia or Nigeria anyway. Fine with me if the TSA wants to have different dues depending on how one receives the Texas Caver. But the question should be how large a discount you get if you don't want a paper copy, not how much more you pay for one.--Mixon ---------------------------------------- May the last lawyer be strangled with the entrails of the last priest. ---------------------------------------- You may "reply" to the address this message came from, but for long-term use, save: Personal: [email protected] AMCS: [email protected] or [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Visit our website: http://texascavers.com To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T
