John--

I feel a little excluded. So now it's come out that you've written Robert and Larry nasty notes, but you've never written one to me. Also, I've never gotten a note from you on Elkhorn Lodge stationery. Is this sexism?

Certainly I've earned a note. Although I don't believe I've yet forgotten to mail in my $20, I'll bet on a weighted average I would score the worst of all Archipelagoans on lateness of submissions, and I would appreciate some kind of recognition for this.

Before you write any more notes to selected individuals, please think about how it's going to make the other members feel who didn't get a note.
