When will Mormonism disappear?

There's no hard and fast rule in the books. It's up to the discretion of each bishop and/or stake president to make that determination.

And here I was starting to believe you had a sense of humor.

E.g., provision of notice and an opportunity to be heard. So nothing would suprise me in terms of my membership status. If I did receive Pac's offer, and it required the slightest inconvenience, I might decline on those grounds alone.

Or, I might decline becuse I perceive the obsession with "record membership" on both sides of the line to be silly. I would not ask for my name to be removed, nor would I attend one of those "courts." I am what I am whatever happens on that score. Does this obsession with record membership reflect a pervasive suprficiality in the culture, a reflexive tendency to elevate form over substance, from which even many apostates fail to recover?

I'm guessing you would howl like a banshee if someone from the church contacted you to inform you that your membership had been removed. Mostly because it would have been done without your knowledge and partly because you'd no longer have your safety net of already being a member should you decide to return.

so you are saying that the Church has cornered the market on nametags?

In that case, thank goodness they went after that guy. He was definitely misusing nametags.

The missionary name tag is a symbol of church representation; it has the logo of the church on it. I understand that you have several of these calendars stashed under your side of the bed and in your bathroom, but seriously.

Technically, DDD is daft cubed. That's about all I got from Math 101.

I take it that trademark law is not your specialty.
