Since you insist Kevin:

John claimed "I'm especially appreciative of you folks. Seventeen
rec.boaters have
donated a total of $825, for an average donation of $48.53.
Remarkable!"

Later another person from rec.boats donated another $450 to get him at
his goal. That made $1,275 in rec.boats contributions.

John donated $650. He did not triple any donations......he did not
double any donations.....he did not match the rec. boats contributions,
although at one point or another he claimed he would do so.

As I said before I also have a personal interest in this cause and have
contributed to it since it's inception. I was only asking John to live
up to his promises for the betterment of the cause and to make good on
his promise.

He didn't. But his $650 contribution was still noteworthy.

Fair enough? Now can we drop it and move on Kevin?

You have no interest in the "cause",you have done everything to
discourage JohnH and others from contributing to the "cause", you only
have an interest in belittling JohnH for his efforts.

You are a little person and you prove this with every one of your posts
concerning this matter.

Fair enough?

Now can we move on?

I will not dignify you asinine charges with a response Smithers.

Uh....nice response, seeing how you aren't going to respond!!!!

JimH,
My comments makes sense, and you have supported this from JohnH's first
post when you tried to "pressu" him not to promote his "team" Race
for the Cure. Wasn't that you who told him "enough already", you have
already gotten $3000 give it up already?

That sounds like someone whose only objective is to harass JohnH, and
really doesn't care about the cause.

Good. I'm glad that people you consider "friends" here, even if online
only, have come around in a time of need.


That sounds a bit negative and John never used the word "friends".

The bottom line is that he has set a realistic goal and there are
enough
people here to hit that number without missing a meal.

Dan



Come on folks.

Does John consider only those who contribute to *his* cause as friends,
even
though others contribute to the same cause in a general way (it all goes
to
the same basic fund) and have done so for the past 20 years?? I don't
think
so.

For us..........we have been (substantial) contributors to this cause for
the past 20 or so years. Most importantly we have had personal
experiences
in the recent past with breast cancer.

As I said earlier to John, our thoughts and prayers are with his
daughter......perhaps the most important thing when you think about it.

With that said.......please keep the contributions and prayers coming for
John's daughter. I know that the emotions and pain that he, his wife
and
daughter are going through cannot be accurately described in words to
those
who have not gone through it. Yet I do know that spiritual support (as
well
as monetary for the breast cancer research) is appreciated.

I hope I did not speak out of line John. I was only trying to provide
some
additional support for a friend. ;-)


Please note that any contributions are not 'for John's daughter'.

Friendship and contributions have nothing to do with each other as far as
I'm concerned. There are some pretty staunch Liberals, and some pretty
staunch Conservatives in this group who've contributed to the foundation.
I
didn't understand your comment either, but I certainly wanted nothing
negative in the thread.

Hopefully, even 'non-friends' are reading this thread. If so, I'll give
them a chance to get even for any offenses I've committed...

I'll match (on a $1 for $2 basis), up to the amount of the goal, any
donations made to the foundation through this web site by anyone from this
time until the cut-off for team donations, which is 1 May! So, if you
donate $20, that'll cost me another $10! If the group donates $3500 and
hits the goal, it'll cost me $1750.

Go for it!

Oh hell with it! I'll match (dollar for dollar) up to the goal! Now you
could put me out $3676! (But don't spread it around!) All the other
provisions apply!

Our daughter is running in the Race for the Cure on May 20th in Columbus,
Ohio and has done so for the past 7 years. We have also been making
donations to the Susan Komen fund for the past 20 or so years. I assume all
donations for breast cancer research are funneled to that fund

I am sorry to hear about your daughter John and hope that she conquers this
disease. But please do not assume that folks are not supporting the funding
of the research because they have not responding to your request.

My prayers are with your daughter.




So how is that imaginary boat of yours doing Reggie? Care to share
some pics? ;-)

I can't understand why JimH would say that I didn't match any rec.boats

I can't understand why he's making his posts, unless he thinks it will

that's where he thinks his 'glory' will lie.
