Jamie Saker complains about not receiving publications. Let me suggest what I would do....pick up the phone and call ACM member services. Maybe the SIG didn't print many newsletters this year. But maybe Jamie's mail isn't getting to him the way it should, either. In the past, I've had problems with getting some of my publications, especially after a move. A short note to headquarters, or a phone call, has always resulted in a prompt shipment of replacement copies. Investing in a stamp or a long-distance phone call is *always* better than assuming something and grumbling about the treatment you've received. ACM has to deal with the mailing of 100s of thousands of items a month, and there is undoubtedly some lossage involved. -- Gene Spafford NSF/Purdue/U of Florida Software Engineering Research Center, Dept. of Computer Sciences, Purdue University, W.
