do we pay anything in the first place.
Of course you do. "Free to members" just means it is absorbed in your annual membership fee.
Going monthly would be a huge change. I would rather continue to have a bimonthly magazine than compromise on quality.
The main change I wouldn't mind seeing would be a secure (password-protected) site available to members where the entire magazine can be viewed electronically.
I'm not saying stop printing the paper magazine, though if both versions were available and there was an "opt out" ability for the paper version, I would take it. (Heck, while I'm dreaming of the future, let's get even more modern: versions for the Kindle and the iPad that are automatically downloaded when released. I'd probably even be willing to pay a small surcharge for that.)
The unfortunately side affect of the availability of electronic copies might be the disappearance of these bimonthly threads...
