Title: BCM subscriber survey

Been kicking around some ideas with Gary regarding the magazine, would be helpful to know how many members are subscribers and how you read the mag.  If you could take a minute to complete the survey, that would be appreciated.  Feel free to post comments here.

Thanks.

I am a subscriber however I very seldom read it anymore as I don't have a computer in the house, cell phone is to small to read anything and I am not in the office that much.
I do read a little of it sometimes. I always check the bulletin board, even though most people have gone to Face Book, which makes it very hard to keep up with things, this board is so much better for that.
Thanks
ED

I still have twenty years worth of the physical magazines, which are easier to read than the digital version, but I realize they are expensive to print. The bulletin Board is very valuable and is superior to Facebook, which is disorganized chaos. I really think the numbers of Facebook users is highly inflated by Facebook which is constantly suggesting "friends", which are not. The combination of the Magazine and the Bulletin Board is the greatest resource for coach enthusiasts.  :D

Bridging the physical and digital divide is a consideration for most of us (old). However, the world is digital so sadly print is obsolete and costly. Given this is a mobile group, internet access is not guaranteed, so an offline copy is always nice to have. Whether connected or offline, it is nice to have downloaded, local copies available on a PC or phone or tablet.
Totally empathize with feeling that stack of mags having merits that they do; however, it'd be a real chore to look up an old article you vaguely remember. With online search, you would find it as well as many others you did not even know about. two sides to the coin on digital.

I still subscribe but don't read it anymore because I don't have the time to spend in the office and the phone is to small. I used to only read it cover to cover in the house.
Thanks Gary for this magazine.

We would love to subscribe  but, we want a printed version. We don't like online or pdf only options. I like to read them when I get a chance. I guess we could try to make time at work where I have a printer and print it off to read later. It is not the same. It's worth the extra cost in my book. That's my two cents. I have yet seen a copy yet
