Hi
I have only been an member of SOC and the forum for a few weeks or so and have thoroughly enjoyed reading to and responding to the various forum posts made. I only discovered this forum when I joined the SOC. I have found the "live" responses to questions both technical and otherwise extremely helpful for a newbie. My August magazine has only just arrived - I presume thats becuase I live overseas. Now for the radical idea. Wouldn't it be useful to have the monthly magazine posted on the website so that if you wanted to read it you could and if you didn't you wouldn't. A simple request could be made to say whether you wanted to receive it by post thus cutting down on the expense of producing it for members who don't really want it. There could be some cost savings and it would still be accessible to all. It would also mean that for us overseas members the magazine would be accessible at the time of printing. I don't know whether this is a good idea or not - it came to me when I was in the little boys room (as most ideas do..), so I thought I would air it (not the boys room I hasten to add!!)
