[MR] A proposal for the hard copy Acorn

[oswald at chesapeake.net]

Please bear with me all, I've not posted here before....

I, too, recieve my hard copy Acorn so late as for it be pointless (Feb 4 for 
Jan)the majority of the time.

Since we quite apparently cannot change the US Postal Service, perhaps we could 
consider changing The Acorn?

Specifically, could January's Acorn (which arrives near the beginning of Feb) 
carry event announcements for Feb (and late Jan?) instead of Jan?  I do not 
know if the Kingdom Chronicler reieves the event announcements in a timely 
enough fashion to do this.  But, if so, sending the Feb announcements in the 
Jan Acorn would at least make the event announcements in the Jan Acorn relevant 
again.  It does seem rather a waste of many people's time, effort, funds 
(trees?) to send announcements for events that are almost certainly past by the 
time the majority of the subscribers recieve them.

The various missives from various officers, functionaries and so on , will be 
as relevant as ever and meet various hard copy publication requirements 
whenever they are recieved.  But it seems to me that this owuld be a way to 
regain the usefulness of the event announcement portion.

Carraig)
