  My personal experience has pointed out that person C is the person
most likley to have sent in his membership.  He will pick up beer cans
and sell plasma if he has to.  Heck if he can't, I'll pay for him
myself.  I have paid for five different "C's" over the last 15 years.

People like that are worth trying to keep.
