my good intentions to join, evidenced by having downloaded and
printed out the subscription form, have been thwarted, not by the
usual pecuniary disadvantage normally accruing to the part-time
lecturer, but by the long arm of slack which prevents my using time
for going to the post office....

apologies, just a thought - but perhaps there are more people like me
out there who would not take so long to send in their application to
join IGALA if there were an online means of registering and payment.
maybe i have been doing too much online shopping to have come to
expect this facility everywhere?
