	excuse me.  ab330 was reinstated shortly after the '96 agm.
	and later (4 months?) deleted at the account holder's request.

	the deletion request was hand delivered by the account holder to 
the registrar with the bod and sundry members in witness.

	if you have a consideration, it is in the breadth of what 
consitutes a "security threat" to such an organisation.  

	considering the tfn is VERY reliant on a very FEW organisations 
for resources (and the membership appears yet reluctant to shoulder more 
of the REAL operational cost - despite ongoing service enhancements and 
educational programs aimed at this), addressing the concerns of donor 
organisations would appear prudent.

	it certainly beats having one's plug pulled in the middle of the 
night (hmmm, maybe that is context sensitive).
