I was thinking of a monthly *paying* subscription. As far as I know, none of the published books by Issaries have been scanned and made available for free on the net whereas we got the long version of the Rufelza and Elmal cults for free on the internet. If we could pay to get the info online we could use the finished parts of TR, ST, SR *right now*... and get the finished product on paper later if we still wanted it.

I don't understand the previous remark, Jeff, could you please elaborate?

Sure me too. Sorry if I didn't make it clear.
