You write, "The one mistake that they almost made but did not happen has
been forgiven."

Forgiven by whom? In my day job I run the mail filters for a very large
state government agency in the midwest. I deal with the results of sold
and stolen mailing lists every day. Though I am eligible for membership in
QCWA, having got my Novice ticket in 1962, I'm very troubled that QCWA's
officers would even _CONSIDER_ selling their membership list, and am
leaning towards not joining because of that incident.
