[Lingtyp] papercopy LT

[Nicholas Evans]

I'm also in favour of retaining both options (print and online). I enjoy the freedom to read paper copy without so much eye strain, when and where I want, and find that shelves of a journal promote a particular type of browsing and connection of ideas that doesn't happen in the same way with electronic versions. Each has its own affordances.

I registered in 2000 or so I think. Maybe then, this alternative did not
exist? What would be the way to manage the subscription status?
