Should AGA wait until Dave Gomberg gets out a few issues of PAM before AGA
considers handing over its membership to PAM for $12.00 per member?  If we
did this, we would at least have a better idea what our members will be
getting.  It bothers me a bit that we are being asked to commit before the
first issue.
