[DeTomaso] Electronic Delivery of newsletters / Profiles

[Himes, Terry (397C)]

You do not have to actually SEND the newsletter.  You can put it on the POCA website and
only send a LINK to it.   PDF format is best, for local storage, like I do.

If you want to make it secure, you can protect the webpage (htaccess), then only accept access to those
that you have sent the link to.  You can also force them to login, but that may annoy some people.

This sure sounds like an easy way to save monies immediately.  Jack (or
somebody else) could just create a distribution list of everybody who
prefers electronic and remove them from the print/mailing list.  Pretty
obvious when an email goes bad. It bounces back. Heck, adding a paragraph
in the next few newsletters asking those who prefer electronic over hard
copy to email where they want it to go.  Problem solved.

Dang, I should be problem solver.

money. It is being worked on to do all members who would prefer this
method; the major problem is making sure all the email addresses are
correct which takes time. This is also complicated by those who's server
will not accept a large mailing.

Personally I'd never accept an electronic Profiles; those really need to
be read in hand. Proofing it online has definitely shown me that I was
correct on that issue. :)

My POCA publication arrived yesterday.A  Nice work.A  Has any
    discussion
been had yet about distributing these electronically?A  I
    can see a cost
savings but I can also see it being easier to pirate
    (forwarding to
non-paying enthusiasts).A  It is nice to have the hard
    copies, but could
they be published online in a secured area on the
    POCA server that could be
indexed?A  Printing could be done at the
    choice of the member.
    How much
does it cost to print/send each distribution?
    How much time does somebody
have to spend to make distribution happen?
    Just planting a seed.A
