I personally don't care about receiving a paper POMONA. I would print it out at home if I could get it electronically and save NAFEX about $12 a year or more in printing and mailing costs. I understand that NAFEX funding is a continuing problem. The advantage to me would be enabling searching of back issues electronically. I proposed this a year or two ago as a new member. It was then hashed out extensively on this list about whether to publish POMONA electronically. Believe it or not there are members who have a problem with publishing electronically as was evident from last year's postings. NAFEX has a board to decide stategies like this and they said NO.
