honor of someone, like Harry, who should be getting his card any
minute!

*****Have a Spectacular Day!*****


* * * * *John H


What are are you now...a full time fundraiser?
No wonder 75% of monies raised for some charitys goes to 'adminintrative
costs'.


ROTF! *I am sure he will also make public all donations, by name and
dollar amount!


Crikey...how did I get on his hit list?


Since the old man is boatless and cannot golf he obviously decided to make
this his new hobby. *Expect to receive a never ending stream of emails from
him asking for contributions to all sorts of causes.

I wonder what his take is?- Hide quoted text -

Is there some particular reason that you feel compelled to launch a
personal attack on John H?

A remark that "a fundraising pitch for this charity or that might be
somewhat out of place on a boating NG" is one thing- but calling him a
"boatless old man", predicting an endless stream of spam emails from
him, and accusing him of being "on the take" are all personality
oriented responses.

If you don't care for his use of the NG to drum up funds for
apparently worthy causes, you have every right to express your
opinion. (I don't care for the way some people use the NG primarily as
a vehicle to make crappy personal remarks, and have expressed that
opinion). But it's also my opinion that
it would be more constructive to address John's observed behavior
rather than
speculate what he *might* do, and use that speculation as the basis
for disparaging personal comments.
