Those of us who have not been members for 5 *continuous* years
did not get the ballot or election information.  I've been a
member for ages, but let my membership lapse once within the last
5 years.  They gave me a new member number, and sold my
name/address to direct-mailers.  They say they don't sell MEMBER
names to mailers, but they do sell EX-MEMBER names to mailers!
Even if you re-up, and are at the same address!
