Hello,

Having seen this same discussion come and go multiple times (even raising it 
myself once), and
having lots of off list updates from members, you can rest assured this topic 
will go nowhere
until the old regime of NAFEX officers retires and younger members ascend to 
their offices.

If you want to see this "choice" (printed/electronic/both - Pomona) sooner 
than later, aspire to
becoming a NAFEX officer.

That is the only solution.

I can even see a split membership pricing format in the future, where you can 
pay the regular
price and get the printed version or a discounted amount for an electronic 
version.

Later,
Tom
