EN, online?

Another me, too to Truman's comments about the online magazine format.  I
just finished 'cleaning up' my home-office, which included throwing out
about six years of EN--maybe more than that, because some of them were
newsprint.  I spent hours tearing out articles--no point in saving pages
and pages of ride results/calendars, etc--since the info was either
'dated', or reprinted in the Yearbook.  Probably half of the content of EN
in print is not something you want to save (unless you ENJOY the pain of
looking at what saddles cost 10 years ago!).  Being able to 'save' the
articles I want without storing all the stuff that is important now but
will be valueless in two months would save storage space, trees, and
expenses for AERC.

Similarly, if we could go to an online reporting system for ride managers
to submit results, we could save AERC the cost of printing and mailing many
of the forms we now receive.  This would also mean that the office would
not have to 'key in' the information to their data base.

It's a new age--we need to make this techno stuff work for us!
