What you're signing up for is to be e-mailed when the next ( and future ) editions are posted. We are painfully aware that there are some members who are not online, as well as various institutions for which the online version is not a viable option. We're trying to get a list of e-mail addresses of people who would like to try out the electronic version, and an idea of whether it's only 5% of the membership who are not online/want paper, or 55%. --Albert +More --- Peter Matthews wrote: > > Dear All. > > It seems to me that we cannot really judge what is good or > better or best > until we actually see the first few issues of the online > version. > > I would recommend a hybrid system: > > Online frequently, and an annual print edition with highlights > from the > year online. > > If the internet is vegetative, or a vine, then maybe the > printed issue is > a seed. > > We need both kinds of propagation! > > Cheers, Peter > > > ****** > > > > On 29/3/2006, "Albert M Huntington" wrote: > > >Folks ( and members of the IAS in particular ), > > > > As we've been working on getting an electronic version of > the > >IAS newsletter going, it's become apparent that an e-mail with > >a summary and a link to the new newsletter needs to be an > >important part of our distribution system. > > > > If you'd like to get notified of the availabilty of the next > >newsletter ( online and in full color! ) before it arrives in > >your mailbox, head on over to the following web address and > >sign up: > > > >http://www.aroid.org/access/nlprefs.html > > > > Alternatively, if you don't like the idea of an electronic > >newsletter, you can go to the same place and register your > >disapproval.
