<DIV>It is not especially tough to share paper copies too. Not so easy as mass mailing a PDF, but a better way to do it would be to make the members go to the website, sign in to an account, and download it. Once the PDF copy, or the printed one, is in the hands of the end user, there isn't much you can do to prevent reproduction/distribution if they so desire.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>I don't know, but I suspect the problem is that an electronic copy is too easy to share and the K-Factor is seen as a cash cow from advertising.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>Just speculating. My local club is only mailing 1/3 as many newsletters this year. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=4>It sounds like there aren't as many savings as I first thought.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>However, if it costs so much, in a downward progressive way, to print the K-Factor, why not just print all the copies, but not send them to whoever would choose to get it electronically? That's got to save enough stamps to at least mail 'em to the guys in Canada and elsewhere that are having such poor postal service. Knowing Murphy and his law all too well, I imagine there's another Catch-22 lurking in this,too.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>As for all the extra copies, give 'em , not send 'em, to IMAC, CPLR, the Nats, WRAM show, Toledo. Give 'em to the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Put me on the list.</FONT></DIV>
