A New Online Era

The last print issue of Smith's Report

As indicated before, lacking any past payment data linked to your Smith’s Report subscription, we gave every subscriber five free SR issues starting with #214. These subscriptions run out with the present issue.

Along with the last issue of SR we asked you all to renew your subscription. An invitation to subscribe was also sent to our large email list. We had planned to repeat that request in this issue. But as of Dec. 1, only 40 (forty) of you have decided to subscribe (or renew).

It goes without saying that no print periodical can be maintained with just 40 subscribers. Even repeating our request here is unlikely to push the total beyond 60. We Trustees had discussed such a scenario before. We decided that we will pull the plug on the print edition, if it drops below 100 subscribers.

Hence we pull the plug. This is  therefore the last print edition of Smith’s Report. From now on, SR will appear only as a free online edition. It will summarize all that has happened at CODOH the month before.

We will get in touch with those of you who have paid to renew their subscription, so you can get your money back. We apologize.
