And now, for an insider's peek into 928 Forum Magazine politics, and probably a crystal clear vision as to how things tumbled apart:

Sheesh Heinrich, so I get to singlehandedly write, publish and finance an issue, do you want editorial credit on this one too? 
Just like old times, there for the credit, but not for the work....
I did get the old mags out of storage, there is a box and a quarter. I'll have to see the total amount in there, I would think that there's about 150 total. I won't know what the spread is as to how many issues of each until I go through them. Once I get them inventoried I'll post quantities.
Sorry for the passive aggressive squabble y'all.

As far as prints are concerned, in my opinion Adam you should absolutely charge. And use the $$ to bring out one last issue for those who paid for the last volume.

Disappointing, but it happens all the time, Adam.
As my father used to say: 'The road to Hell is paved with good intentions'...

Cars vs. Forum longevity
And nobody is jumping in here re: the longevity of our cars? It may get more expensive, but the 356 is still out there. I would not expect much help from Porsche AG and some things are insurmountable, but we have a base of some (WAG 25,000) cars, anybody know how many 356s are being maintained? I bet Jim Bailey knows. Mark A and Dave R are in business to keep us supplied.

Dont look to the "complaint department" for good news

Somehow, I think you've got a very clear understanding of what "volunteering" entails, Randy. 
Sounds like your Dad was an optimist, at least he was traveling a "paved" road.
No hard feelings H, if you didn't mean anything by your comments, I won't take anything from them.
Sounds like a typical case of folks volunteering for the sake of being involved and having good intentions, then failing to shoulder their share of the load.

Any chance these can be scanned to PDF? To do it well, I think one copy of each issue would have to be torn apart into separate pages.

Only that it would be easier to scan them. I presumed that they are standard 8.5 x 11 pages (never seen it), so after removing stables and cutting down the center, 8.5 x 11 pages, right? Seems worthwhile since there seems to be more interest in the remaining inventory than actual inventory.

I see now bronto, I didn't understand that you were intending on having the original sheets cut. Ultimately, I think we're talking about the same thing then, except that I was thinking that the same would be done without pulling the mag apart and just scanning each page. I think it might be difficult to find a copy of the first volume / first issue to cut up.

I've got a scanner actually several and would be willing to do the scanning. Let me know
