Greetings all,

At Tacos there was a discussion of paper mailed verions versus WWW
access of the AMRAD Newsletter. Seems we'll be trying out some things
on the Internet while still mailing a printed newsletter.

See http://www.amrad.org/newsletter/

What is now possible with the new electronic format is quite different 
from the printed version.

But the big question is: Why would someone pay dues to be a member
when our "product" is available "for free" on the Internet?

I propose that non-members be able to read a version of the AMRAD
Newsletter filtered in some way, while dues-paying members
get to read the Newsletter in the original English as written by the
authors.
