Now that I know that my emails have been seen, I'm not frustrated. The frustration just comes from not hearing anything at all and not knowing what's going on. All I really needed was "Sorry. Still not mailed yet. You haven't been forgotten."

I tend to be very understanding. I know everyone is busy, including myself, so I don't expect everything goes right or always on time. Hell, I'm even easy on the state tax folk when they screw something up, though that can be tough.

I didn't want to place blame on anyone or such. I just wanted to make sure that somehow my mail didn't get lost in the event the new membership mailings did go out. I've had that happen multiple times in the past, especially when I lived in the Santa Cruz Mtns. I can't count the number of times I've left mail in the mailbox that was meant for a different address. Happened at least once a week.
