i was bitten by this membership drive, too. ACM started the trouble
by getting my middle initial wrong. Computer Society then solicited
me for membership by offering a great deal on their magazines. i took
the offer, thinking that it would be added on to my regular computer
society membership. no such luck. instead, i became two separate people
to the computer society -- with addresses differing by only a single
linefeed character.
it took almost 8 months to get everything straightened out, after all
sorts of confused correspondence. phew.
