We were specifically speaking of RPT status. I WAS an RPT, 1965, and a member-at-large, albeit within the borders of the US, barely (30 miles to the Mexican/US border (where Poncho Villa invaded the US). My point is that anyone should be granted RPT status without respect to their residence. Paying only 60% of the dues is a good point though. Wish _I_ could do that. Ah well, progress, isn't it wonderful? Thanks for pricking my balloon. Newton
