Will, As Don said, you've got the confirmation, so what's the beef. The letter was generated with the assumption that you wouldn't pay prior to the deadline. THEN you made payment (effectively answering the letter). So no, you won't be dropped because you've contacted them and made payment. When you take action in the 11th hour, funny things happen.<div> </div><div>William R.

No, I cannot just throw it away. The letter asks me to call the home office if they have made an error, and correct it so that things will be properly recorded. I will do that today. It’s my job to make the effort to fix their mistake. (That’s pretty familiar in these modern times we live in…..) It would be interesting, though, to find out what would happen if I did absolutely nothing to correct this on my own and let it ride until the end of the month. Would their error go unrecognized and I be formally dropped from the Guild, despite my confirmed payment? If I were, that would be fairly damning of the process software and otherwise.
