In any case, I have forwarded this note to the ARG, and will try
to be sure the issue gets onto the agenda.  What you are looking for seems
quite reasonable, and as you say, worked fine in the "good old days."
The ARG has changed with the times, though I don't know what particular
action caused you to lose trust in them in the past.  Although I
can't guarantee any particular outcome, I can at least guarantee that
we will discuss your concern...
