RE: old issues of JPTS

Dear members,

Although this is an incredibly useful resource, it is very threatening to the PTS, a non-profit organization, and to their mission to publish Pali scholarship. The complete set of the JPTS is £530 (http://www.palitext.com/) = approx. US$750. The availability of the pdfs represents a huge loss in revenue to the PTS. If we want to see the PTS's good work continue, then one must also buy the print version (as Jim has done) or donate a reasonable proportion of this cost to the PTS.

Regards
Mark
