Dear Harrumph, Not to worry. Non-electronic means of payment are sure to be accepted by SLAS for quite some time. I've a feeling that if any SLAS board tried to do away with accepting non-electronic payments the resultant fracas would make the Post Office Box Meeting look like polite conversation. But how fun that your comment would appear here the same day as this comic in today's paper: http://www.seattlepi.com/comics-and-games/fun/Pardon_My_Planet/2012-02-01/ BTW, I went back and looked at the SLAS deposits starting in 2008 when SLAS first started accepting electronic payment and was surprised to find that last month was not the first "electronic only" month after all. There were two others and one where non-electronic outnumbered electronic. Grins, patrick p.s. Caution, the following will be found by most to be extremely boring: Monthly ratio of electronic payments to non-electronic since SLAS made the electronic option available: 24-1 (2008 April) 18-13 17-7 18-6 14-4 28-17 10-4 3-0 13-4 16-4 19-5 14-8 19-4 16-5 22-6 21-8 14-5 16-2 33-1 5-2 11-7 19-1 13-3 17-6 17-5 16-8 20-6 11-7 15-6 8-0 30-4 7-14 6-1 24-3 19-9 17-11 15-8 19-9 21-5 16-4 18-8 24-2 20-9 6-3 22-0 (2011 December) On 02 Jan 2012, at 17:44, Chuck Hards wrote:
I do online payments often, but I am now highly motivated to send my next dues payment as either a paper check or germ-infested currency.
I see nothing lauditory in the idea of on-line payments. Don't pat yourselves on the back too hard.
Harrumph.
