It seems to me that the best solution would be for the online publishing
platforms to be accessible.  It is a problem with all of them, not just the
one that ARRL uses.  If you consider the problem from that standpoint, you
are better off because it would mean everything published is out there with
built-in accessibility and that means not having to deal with every magazine
title individually.  I have to say that it is disappointing that these on
line publishing systems can contain search facility that can pull up key
words but the underlying text is not able to be made available to qualified
users. Absolutely everything printed these days begins life on a computer.
That text is there and what needs to be done is to find a better balance
between security and accessibility.

Naturally they need to know about BARD, since they authorize it, we would
loose all credibility by withholding information.
Then explain the problems with BARD,
First, inspite of their best efforts their is a publishing delay.
Second, even though it isn't being sent through the mail, advertizing is
omited.
third.  Separate is not equal or inclusive, just by being separate.  Hams
solve technical problems, this is a technical problem with a technical
solution.
