I'd rather be under 501(c)3, a charitable organization
promoting the advancement of education and science, which
ACA and I think PVAS obtained with the help of attorneys.
It might be necessary that we give grants to help a case
for (c)3,though. 

We only asked for 7 because, when we first asked, they
said,"you best try again and ask for 7", which is
tantemaount to saying, if you want to pursue this the way
you've been going, then you'll get an official denial, but
the guy in the corner cubicle that reviews (c)7 apps might
buy it.

So we applied under 7 and now they're saying maybe 4.

My guess is that they have a problem with the notion of
exclusive (member as opposed to genral public) use, which
is one of the key diffs between 4 and 7.  Anyone can use
the AGA web page and the AGA bookstore, e.g., or come to
the AGA auctions as buy or seller.

At least, this time, they're not making us reapply , which
means sending another $500.
