What keeps someone from taking their PRA paper magazine and passing it around for their flying buddys to see right now? Why would it be worse if it was online? Sounds ridiculous to me.
Remember where I said the membership fees would be less than they are now? Remember I said 10-20$ per year??? For that small of a amount wouldn't most people just join than try to see some text their friend copy and pasted into a email???
And again, I ask you this, is the PRA a magazine subscription or is it more? It sounds like the magazine is the only allure to being a part of the PRA if seeing the magazine online illegally is going to be keeping people from spending that 10-20$ in dues that I proposed.
Again, this is the problem with the PRA and the past, present and future PRA board.... you guys can't be DO'ers, you guys can talk a bunch of big talk but can't ever seem to get around to getting anything done.
I fought like hell for years to get our chapter board to agree to drop our paper newsletter. Finally they saw the light and we voted just before Bensen Days to go to online newletters.
Why doesn't the EAA have a online newsletter? because alot of people are members of the EAA strickly for a magazine subscription. They have the numbers of members and the money coming in to put out a magazine and not go broke at the same time. If we had EAA numbers and EAA money I would never suggest dropping the paper magazine. But we don't....
