Hi-- 
another thought on the magazine on line-- how about keeping each  send out
to 40 pages max (easier on editor too) --or if need more, why not send out
40 pages one month and the next 40 pages the next month--still within that
quarter. Maybe one end-of-year edition could be sent out via hard copy-- I
have not seen the finances report to se if this is even possible. 

Also, what if any provisions are being made for folks who do not have
e-mail? Maybe raise fees to $25-30. I would be willing to pay more and to
have some of it go to those who have no e-mail. Other groups with magazines
are going through the same problems.

Subject: [NAFEX] Pomona online

In response to my saying I wouldn't read Pomona online, Deb S. wrote:  "That

would be a shame.  While I like print, the production and environmental 
costs just don't make sense in the digital age.  I enjoy reading your 
articles and sure hope you will reconsider!"

    Computers can be an awful waste of time and I currently spend two hours 
per day doing business and answering emails.  That's enough!  Any more time 
spent online means less work gets done and I'm usually behind on my tasks as

it is.  That is why I refuse to go on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.  Now

I'm supposed(?) to read Pomona online?  Ain't gonna happen.  Then, if I'm 
not reading it, I'm less likely to contribute articles.
    I'd reconsider if I became more disabled than I am now and couldn't do 
my physical work.  And, "What," you may ask "is so important that I can't 
find time to read Pomona online?"  I'm developing No Sugar jams, jellies and

syrups so diabetics, like me and my business helper, have delicious things 
to eat that cost about the same as our (Sugared) products.  We grow all of 
the fruit that goes into our products and I spend the rest of the year 
growing, harvesting and selling.
