So, am I the only one to notice the large, easily visible word
"Experation" misspelled on the B5 Fan Club membership card?  This is
so embarrassing!  (I also noticed a few in the newsletter here and
there...)  Doesn't the guy have anything as simple as a spellchecker?
You reported that you yourself were picking nits at the poster, Joe, I
only wish you had happened to glance at the Fan Club membership
card...

Argh!  
But better a misspelled membership card than _no_ membership card. 
Hopefully, shipments won't halt just to fix that, annoying as it may be. 
Hopefully, I'll get mine before I move to a new address in two weeks.
It's now been four months to the day since my check cleared -- April 12.
Ah well, mark it up to a lesson in patience and perspective...

We did check the card before it went to the printer; expiration was
spelled correctly.  When they came back, due to the need to get things out
fast, they weren't rechecked...and some got out.  We had them redo the
print run, but some had gotten out by then.
