I go on vacation and poof, half my friends abandon me.

Received an e-mail from the Libertarian Party. Solid stuff, one typo, no big deal, but then they hit me with this.

There are just over 100,000 official members of the Libertarian Party...

Whoa! I thought there were over 200,000 members of the party, what gives? Was it me? Was my joining the cause of 100,000 defections? Do I have B.O? Someone help me out here.
