Mark and Butch,

When I tried to register, the site would not allow me to select Virginia
as my state. I tried it on both Internet Explorer and Firefox, and both times
it returned the page with the state blank and an error saying I needed to
select a state. Selecting Virginia a second time simply gave the same error.
Please fix this registration page so that non-Texans may register!

While I wholeheartedly support electronic newsletters, I take exception
to denying access to all past issues after one's membership lapses. All issues
published while one was an active member should remain accessible to that
person even after their membership expires. This is the biggest failing of
many electronic journals, especially for libraries. With the paper version,
all issues you pay for are yours forever. With the electronic version, one now
has nothing if their membership lapses. It doesn't have to be that way,
although I suspect it is considerably more complex to implement. Some
electronic journals do indeed allow one continued access to all issues paid
for, but no others. Texas Caver should be the same. Please consider revising
your policy so that we get to keep access to what we pay for.
Thanks,
Mark Minton
