I don't know what this was in response to... I don't think I got whatever
e-mail is quoted in this.  Can someone fill me in?

I don't know that anyone has suggested an immediate dues increase.  I know I
wouldn't want to see one.  If we can possibly swing it without a HUGE loss,
I'd really rather see us go a year and then raise the dues... It's much
easier to justify at that point.
