I feel that by placing SHAR on the net, a great amount of new interest in
the journal could possibly be generated.  I understand the complications of
offering it free of charge to the public, but I believe if limited access to
non-members and full access to members were offered, subscriptions would
most likely increase.  Beyond this, having access to the full text of SHAR,
and all past issues, would be an excellent resource for scholarly research.
Finally, by providing a copy on the web, print-impaired individuals like
myself would have ready access to the journal.    >
