  Dennis, I am not sure exactly why I am against the tiered membership price
system.  However, I am against it, and wanted to express my view. Perhaps I
feel that it is another example of creeping (perhaps rampant, running,
leaping) socialism/Marxism ("from each according ...").  This objection might
be overcome if different fees buy different things.

  Also, I am glad that I am not the one who must manage fig.  I appreciate the
efforts of those who are willing to manage it. Therefore, whatever they who
are ON THE SPOT decide deserves a certain respect.  It is easy for me to toss
out theories, such as that raising the membership fee is the major cause of
fig's declining membership and that lowering the fee might restore us to our
former glory.  (That theory is not original with me.)  I don't want the fee
lowered on the basis of whether someone is or is not a student.

  I'll accept Forth Dimensions in whatever condition you send it to me. The
slick covers are wasted on me (and I rather liked the table of contents on the
outside!).
