Re: [Chrysler300] E News and the proposals to go on line only?

[Edward Mills Antique Tractors <millserat@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I really don't like the philosophy of pushing everyone to use electronic 
(computer) communication / distribution. I get enough of that CRxP from 
banks wanting to charge to get paper statements. If we are going to use 
that rationale, do I get a discount for Electronic Format or do we just 
charge more for NOT Electronic.

I personally like having the electronic format to supplement the paper 
copy - and it does allow electronic filing for archival purposes . But 
the E-copy should be essentially FREE at least to distribution and 
hopefully minimal additional work to format/send but when I get paper 
copy, I can take it with me to read - without having to find a printer.

The debate should be based on a mail out survey - we have heard more 
than enough speculation - including mine - from those of us who are very 
active on computers.

Best, Ed
