I don't think anyone is saying that the magazine was not the best yet, Chuck. I said I thought it was perfect in my response to John Yee's post. I have every issue ever printed...and it is indeed te best. I also wouldn't mind paying the extra cost above what my First Class subscription costs...BUT, we need to consider the other 2400+ members who do not profit off the magazine such as I and others via its circulation around the world... who are not willing to go the extra expense because you and I like the quality.

The educational content will still be part of the magazine...and it's only the cost of the frills (heavy coated stock) we are concerned about added to the usual 100-pages.

As Archie said below...will First Class maiing to ALL result in a dues increase? At the extra weight comes extra postal expenses, too.
