[QCWA Hotlist] QCWA Fall Journal

[Dale Svetanoff]

Jim,

Reading about the shredding issue, I meant to notify you that my Summer
issue got partially torn up by the USPO.  It was readable, but a few
articles are goners due to the tearing.

A suggestion, if I may: I noticed that there were no "sticky things" used
to secure the edges of the issue (usually used on 2 or 3 edges of various
publications I receive).  With the change to newsprint, I think securing
the edges to keep them from snagging and getting ripped during postal
processing makes a lot of sense.  In all of the years that the heavier
cover paper was used, I think I only saw one issue that sufferred postal
damage.  I fully expect that the incidence of damaged issues will increase
with the thinner paper unless steps are taken to minimize snags.

I fully appreciate the cost benefits of going to digital publishing, and I
do receive several periodicals in electronic format.  However, I don't like
that format as well as I do "hard copy" because I do not enjoy reading from
the screen for more than a few minutes.  I end up printing out many
articles from those electronic pubs.  Also, because I am busy with many
tasks each day, I frequently forget about those pubs on the computer and
just read either the printouts or those that I still get in printed form. 
The printed copies are very portable (no, I do not have an e-reader and
don't want one, either) and handy to take along when traveling.  I do
archive all of my "Journal" issues - they are a wonderful resource of
information.

Thanks for all of your work as the new GM.
