Well I'm glad someone is satisfied.  In my case they billed me last Fall for 
my annual membership which wasn't due until now.  When I called them, they 
said to ignore the bill, they had a foulup that effected several customers. 
Nevertheless, in November, they failed to send me the Fall APDALog.  In 
January I called them and they told me that according to their records, my 
membership had lapsed last January (it wouldn't have run until March even if I 
hadn't paid the bill which I did).  Now, like clockwork, my bill for the next 
year arrives but interestingly, they haven't published a catalog in 6 months. 
I got much better service when APDA was handled by the outsiders in 
Washington.
