I will do so now, and this will be my last action as a negotiator with
PAM:

*  David would like to offer 1-year subscriptions to AGA in exchange for
   back issue sales.  David would also like to buy the rest of Dave's
   inventory at a lowball price.

*  Neil would like to offer 1-year subscriptions to the AGA, but NOT in
   exchange for anything.  But he would like to find out how many back
   issues Dave has and if he would give us all of them and if Diana would 
   sell them. But he needs to think about it more.

*  Karen would like to purchase some or all of his back stock just for the
   bookstore, but no more.

Note that Dave has offered to do NONE of these options.  His offer was a
straight trade of subscriptions for back issues, which he will use to "pay
off" his members instead of sending them back issues himself.

Someone else will have to negotiate this.  My goal was to see the AGA
through the TAG problem, and PAM has now become a side issue.  When I get
back from vacation, I will concentrate on finding a replacement editor for
TAG.
