I have to point out that I am member 1206, and I was promised that
packet...

It would have been nice to have received notification of this via the
lugnet e-mail database. A simple e-mail message to all members advising
that unfortunately no more member packets would be mailed out (allowing
for those, who like me, weren't subscribed to the lugnet newsgroups) would
have saved me a lot of hassle.
One element is that at law, you are technically in breach of contract, as
the member packet was promised as part of the legal consideration for our
membership fees.

One final thing. I now have the answer I wanted in some e-mails I sent a
few weeks ago. However, I have to say that it is at best rude not to even
acknowledge e-mails concerning lugnet, which in my experience is exactly
what has happened several times. While I appreciate how busy you guys
are, it is not satisfactory in the slightest.
I was very seriously considering asking for my membership fee to be
returned, not because of the failure to send my member packet, but because
of the failure to deal with lugnet business. Perhaps someone could check
the feedback@lugnet.com e-mail account, or Todd and Suzanne could check
their respective e-mail accounts and answer my e-mail sometime.

| (...) Andy, I'm sorry there has been so much confusion about all of this. A large part of it is my fault.
