Fred, I am very embarrassed to report that I have been a PGSA member for years, get Rodziny regularly, and read Iwona's columns, but haven't read this issue yet and had no idea this was her topic. I've spent several weeks traveling recently, and a group of periodicals were put aside for later reading, including Rodziny. (My timing has always been terrible!) Thank you for pointing this article out, and thanks to all for the help on this issue! ......Mike On May 28, 2008, at 12:06 PM, Fred Hoffman wrote: > > It seems to me Iwona researched this pretty well, > and I think her observations are worth reading.

I thought you were a PGSA member, but I wasn't certain. There was a time I prepared the mailing for each issue of _Rodziny_, and back then I often recognized PGSA members' names when I saw them. But these days our printers in Texas take care of the mailing as well as the printing, so I don't see the membership lists any more. It's a relief not to have to prepare 2,000 pieces of mail; the one drawback is that I no longer have such a good idea who is and is not a current member. It is, of course, essential to drop everything the moment _Rodziny_ arrives in the mail, and to read every word. However, I do recognize that occasionally life makes certain demands that must be met immediately. From time to time, one may find it necessary to give priority to work, or family, and so on. So I'll forgive you this time. I won't send my enforcers, Stas and Jas, after you. Just don't let it happen again. (Advisory for the humor-impaired: that was a joke.) Fred Hoffman www.fredhoff.com
