The problem with that is that bulk mail depends on (surprise!) bulk and
would not be available if there were not enough members getting the
newsletter by mail to guarantee that minimum.  (At one point there was some
relationship between the kingdom membership minima and the minimum levels
for bulk mail, but that no longer appears to be true.)

Mostly when the "No Electronic Distribution" at the time it was written
meant open distribution to any one who wanted it via a website, as that is
the typical method at the time.  But has it ever been proposed to directly
send the PDF version of the Acorn via email to those who *CHOOSE* to receive
it that way?  Basically instead of offering only two mailing methods, "US
First Class" and "US Bulk/Standard", add a third "PDF via Email" at the same
cost as the "US Bulk".

I have slow dial up at home but would still choose that method if it were
offered.  It would be a lower cost to the Society, and better service to the
members.

  This topic comes up every now and then. The usual response has been that
in
  order to add value to paid memberships, that electronically distributed
  versions of the same material be delayed until the hard-copy acorn had
been
  in-hand for some time.

  Granted, I've been out of the loop on stuff like this for a while, my
  attention has been elsewhere. Viewpoints of current kingdom officers may
  vary from those that held the offices back during my stint as an officer.

  It is interesting to hear of disciplines communcation strategies, Rozsa.
  Siegfried point is still valid. The Kindgon Chronicler has all the letters
  in electronic format. Why not post anything going in the Acorn onto some
  public medium like Atlantia.SCA.ORG or this list perhaps a few days after
  the deadline for submissions? Is anyone against the idea of posting the
  letters publicly? I am studying Information Technology at ODU, so I find
  the topic of information flow fascinating.
