i was bitten by this membership drive, too.  ACM started the trouble
by getting my middle initial wrong.  Computer Society then solicited
me for membership by offering a great deal on their magazines.  i took
the offer, thinking that it would be added on to my regular computer
society membership.  no such luck.  instead, i became two separate people
to the computer society -- with addresses differing by only a single 
linefeed character.  

it took almost 8 months to get everything straightened out, after all 
sorts of confused correspondence.  phew.
