You've convinced me.  I agree with you and Fred.

I completely agree with Fred.   The former member opted out of print (his choice) and then left being a member (again his choice).   He lost his benefits of being a member.   He can regain them by rejoining, again, his choice.

The advantage of membership is that you have access to back issues. If you are not a member, you do not have access to back issues. If you are no longer a member, you are not a member. No access.

How would that look? If they were a member for a year, they are then entitled to only that year? Or if they have access to the archive page they would have ALL back issues. Which is one of our published member benefits.

A former member angrily complained that he should have access to past
issues, digitally during the time of his membership as he paid for
those issues. He opted out of print and let his membership lapse.

Pros and cons, and can it be done?

CQ magazine does this. If you subscribe and are no longer a subscriber
the issues are still yours to keep.
