Re: to due or not to due

[Alan Lambert <lechefgerard@domain.elided>]

Like Jay, I am also a member of both ARA and AROSC (and thereby
AROC)--his comment, if accurate, leads to an expansion of prior ideas.
Have some members (at less expense) read the mag on the net--others pay
more and get the hard copy--yet others (perhaps dubbed "the active")
would pay by event for AROC sponsored meets--track, concours, or
whatever.

Maybe something along those lines might work.
