You're welcome.  That's one advantage of being on a night schedule.
I left at 12:20 am, walked ten miles home, and it *still* wasn't my
bedtime yet, so I caught up on rasff, added you to the list, caught
up on rasff, started working on the meeting minutes, then caught up
and rasff.  (Did I mention, in the last WSFA Journal, that rasff is
a high volume newsgroup?)

I don't keep track of who has paid.  That's the treasurer's job.

I have many years of attendance data, and put lots of thought and
programming skill into the problem of predicting who is most likely
to show up at the next meeting.  Each sign-in sheet is different, and
several hours of CPU time goes into making each one.  It's very rare
for anyone to show up who is *not* on the attendance sheet, unless
it's their first meeting ever.  This was the first meeting where this
happened:  Don Bieniewicz showed up for the first time in over fifteen
years, and was *not* already on the list.  It won't happen again.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to catch up on rasff.
