Just a comment on the internet publishing thought.
All of "us" can deal with getting the newsletter sent via a PDF file;
however I'm certain there are many subscribers that cannot accept the
newsletter as email. That certainly poses a problem for those that have
paid their money for a "snail mail" copy.
The second issue would be gathering the email addresses in a timely
manner. I would imagine that attempting to acquire email address's for
those subscribers that have them won't solve the immediate problem. The
newsletter would go out much quicker if mailing labels were available.
If the consensus is to publish via email in the future I do own Adobe
Acrobat ver 4.0. I would be happy to convert the newsletter to a PDF
file so it could be emailed. I would suggest that PDF is likely a
better format than most others available.
As far as Dan Masters involvement, I can say that when I met with Dan in
Breckinridge Colorado for the VTR event in August(?) Dan said the
newsletter was done and waiting on Don. In fact if I recall correctly
he indicated at that time he had bought the EXPENSIVE printer to handle
the newsletter. You have to believe me when I say that Dan isn't the
kind of person that wants to be associated with a poorly run operation.
I suspect this is driving him crazy.

Subject: RE: Newsletter
The newsletter problem lies squarely in Don's court. He has not
responded to my e-mail, & I see from recent posts, he has not responded
to anyone else. Based on the happenings at the Florida meet, my personal
opinion is that Don is not good at follow through, & we will never see
any more effort from him.
Anyone live close to Don in Florida? Ian, is the NJ V8 mafia still in
business in the South? Perhaps a personal contact will work.
Failing that, Dan, can you publish via the internet as suggested?
Dan, do you have out of pocket costs we, as a group can reimburse you
for? Speaking only for myself, the value of the Newsletter is far
greater than the subscription cost, & I don't mind spending a few more
bucks if that is what it takes.
