Submarine Matters International (SMI) will now EMAIL full articles (including the 12 Special Reports) to Donors only. Non-Donors will only be alerted, to what they are missing out on, by Headings on SMI. Donors are overwhelmingly readers who donate $A50 per year (currently approx US$37). There is also a much smaller group who have Donated by way of much information for 5+ years.
I originally aimed at preventing non-Donors from actually viewing/searching SMI. They will be able to view Old articles but not New articles. New articles will instead by Emailed direct to Donors by me from now on.
Emailing direct to Donors is also usefull because Blogspot (aka Blogger) plans, this month (July), to terminate the service of automatically Emailing articles (in the form of .PDFs) to readers. Instead I will carry on the Email service, but only for Donors.
I plan to write and distribute (to Donors) more articles than previously.
As I will be in direct email contact with Donors I more easily can tailor the subject matter of articles to Donor needs/requirements. Donors can also send me follow-up questions/comments more discretely than by the Public-(below article)-Comments method provided by Blogspot
For anyone who still wants to Donate (for Full Articles and for the 12 Special Reports) please contact me at pete74730@yahoo.com.au . I will then send you a Donation invoice.
Regards Pete
