Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] IMPORTANT MESSAGE - PLEASE READ

Hi Jon,

Very good work. Shows how as a community PSUBS can have a collective influence on the world around us. As a block we have purchasing power.

I would go with option #2. Unfortunately I jumped the gun and ordered my own copy at full price. I did use the West Coast PSUBS PO Box as the ship to address. If that gives us any weight.

Regards,
Ray
