The sequential membership number was a somewhat valuable feature until they did this. Now you could have belonged for 1960 and just requested the same number without paying back dues. Done to appease some guys who felt it a status symbol to have an early number? Versus showing continuity of membership. I suppose those that had to pay would be very unhappy.
