P.S.   I think RITS is also a quarter behind on our scheduled publications?


How could that be, when all the publication problems were supposedly going to 
be solved with the expensive Rocket publishing arrangement of the last few 
years?    Now we are being told that the delay is due to a "shortage of 
material"???  Wasn't that "shortage of material" the same problem that we used to hear 
about from the editors of the Digest?  The same problem which some officers, 
some of those overseeing publications, and some members were not particularly 
tolerant???   The only difference is that the Digest was produced by RITS 
volunteers at very low cost, while the Rocket is produced by a commercial 
publishing company at a considerably higher cost to RITS, with editorial work 
presumably also paid out of RITS dues revenue.  Weren't we supposed to have everything 
on a more timely basis when we started paying for what the volunteer editors 
used to do?
 
It might also be noted that when the Rock was a stand alone publication, 
rather than an insert mailed with the Rocket, it also appeared on a much more 
timely basis.  Of course, that was back when RITS dues revenue vs. expenses were 
sufficient to cover the extra postage for the Rock mailings.  Indeed, it does 
seem like things have deteriorated....
