Unless Iowa has come to be treated by New Yorkers as an overseas state,
this problem is not confined to overseas members.  I usually get reminder
notices from ACM headquarters after I pay my dues.  It is sufficiently
usual that I don't really worry about it, although the total cost of the
postage for all these reminders must be tremendous if the problem is
really widespread.
