Assuming this passes, will those paying for 2003-2004 membership at the
AGM pay $15 or $20?  I am particularly interested as I have sent a cheque
for $15 to the treasurer and wish to make sure I have paid my membership
fee in full.

When inflation is considered HUMBUG is actually getting significantly less
per member than it was in 1995.

I may be in a position to put some of the HUMBUG services on my personal
machines to offset potential costs.  I'll discuss this with the Exec.
Having HUMBUG services spread across multiple machines & networks would
improve redundancy anyway.

Perhaps others with personal servers online may be able to do something as
well.

Cheers,
