Bill-

In addressing the issue here, I think I have the right to address a couple 
of questions to you.  I assume you have read your QCWA Journal and are 
familiar with the column in question.

1.  Do you believe the use of MYCALL-N is a legal ID?

2.  If the answer to the above is "yes", then do you believe the President 
of QCWA, writing in the official journal, should be held accountable for 
his position that it is not legal?

BTW: I have participated in the organization of two 501(c)(3) organizations 
and served on the BoD of one of those.  And if I should choose to criticize 
President Bush, I would not feel any obligation to run for the President of 
the United States. :-)
