Yes, and for the addresses, I *did* that work.  There *are* a fair
number of street addresses listed in the online WSFA Journal, and in
each such case, it's because I had made certain, not only that that
member no longer lived there, but that neither did any other past or
present WSFA member.  I went to this effort so as to leave out as
little as possible.

As I said, our consensus policy was to leave in the phone numbers.  I
can't help it if you missed the meetings in which that was discussed.

Yes, which was a point *I* made five years ago.  The club made its
decision.  And now it will live with it.  It will not renege on it
after I did five years work relying on it.  At least not if it wants
me, or any other potential volunteer with any sense, to ever again do
anything for the club.
