The Hat Offer/solicitation to join ASQ - But I've been a member for over a decade!

I received a nice letter from ASQ a few minutes ago giving me reasons why I should join. Why, they even included an application!

Problem is, I have been a member for more than a decade.

Has anyone else experinced this? I wonder how much was spent recruiting those who are already members.

They probably decided it was cheaper to send the "invitation" to everyone on their list (and look dumb in the process) rather than trying to sort it first.

YES! It is a massive, world-wide conspiracy to drive you over the edge into madness, probably because you are scheduled to testify on something in which your testimony would harm "powers that be."

Do you notice lots of folks around your home, company location, church, grocery, etc. who wear tight black suits and aviator-style Ray-Bans?

Have there been a lot of big black SUVs around during your daily commute? Have you been noticing periodic EMI on your TV? Is there a crackle or buzz when you use the phone?

Gee! Sometimes, it is NOT paranoia - sometimes, somebody really IS after you!

Dang, they found me out. I thought the Reynold's wrap hat was supposed to foil their efforts! (No, I WILL NOT atone for that really bad pun).

And here I thought all of the guys with sunglasses were paparazzi.

After 2 drinks when someone calls I do have a buzz on the phone. A buzz off of the phone too.

Periodic EMI? Is that one of those ostrich looking things?

I’ll make 10 years of ASQ membership this month. Probably I’ll receive the “nice letter” soon...
