    What schedule is used for these "releases"? I certainly have NOT received my copies via the mail - like a dummy, I figured 41 years of membership should at least result in a timely delivery of the Driveline. But then again, the lack of financial controls over the last 10 years and the resulting losses should have taught me differently, so I apologize........I guess.

      While I don't have 41 years of membership, I remember when The Driveline was mailed via First Class Mail and members even then complained about the lack of timely delivery. Loren, if you can solve the problems of timely mail delivery, I would encourage you to run for political office so you can solve ALL of the world's problems.

        Terry, those complaints were directly traceable to either the USPS or to the lack of mailing labels, but this "publication" on the web site id due to someone's decision of delivery time, hopefully based on "everyone should have received their copies by now" and whatever estimate is being used, IT DOESN'T WORK. The "guess" is obviously based on faulty data. BTW, I still don't have my copies.

          Thanks

            LOL... I never knew the USPS sorted print deliveries by the number of years you belonged in the NCRS. In resolve, I hereby propose that the print copy go to NEW members FIRST... the older members have had a lot more time collecting parts, and we need to even out that gross injustice.

            PS- I hope NOBODY believes that the print copy can remotely match the delivery time of the digital Restorer or Driveline. And if you are convinced the digital copies should be DELAYED to match the print version, kindly send your reply via certified mail... I'll get back to you in a couple weeks.

              The startup discussion is not about the USPS delivery time - it is about the NCRS decision time as to when to print them on the website. In this case it was decided to print and publicize such on THE DAY AFTER THEY WENT TO THE POST OFFICE. Not exactly per the guidelines is a nice way to put it.

                OOOPS, you didn't follow my strict reply guidelines... 10 yard penalty, loss of the down, and no snack before bedtime (rules are rules).

                      For the record, my mags arrived on July 25, 2017, just 13 days after delivery to the Post Office.

                              I'm just glad I wasn't sitting there for the "dinosaur" picture; if I would have been there Vinnie would have used "fossils"......
