At last count, we've had three donations for a total of $360 that I get to
match. That's not bad, but we can do a lot better!

As can be seen from the team page:

the goal is still quite a ways away. Making a small donation is *much*
better than bickering in the newsgroup!

My offer to match ends in one week. Sock it to me!

And this relates to boating how?

This is an admirable quest on your part and I applaud your dedication
to this cause - I share your enthusiasm as I have two charities that I
am very involved with. It is a good thing you are doing this.

I still have to wonder if this is appropriate for a boating newsgroup?

Not that I care - I'm just trying to define the ground rules for the
various participants so we know what is acceptable and what isn't.

Don't get carried away - I'm on your side on this remember.

Post away - you have my complete support.

I would donate, but I already have supported two friends of Mrs. Wave
and one of my oldest - there is only so much to go around. And I'll
be honest with you - the fact that you will match contributions is a
wonderful and very admirable thing to do - I have nothing but respect
for your efforts.

It was only an illustration of my take on the whole what is and isn't
appropriate and to tell the truth, my annoyance over Chuck's apparent
inability to see anything other than his own truth.

That's it and I'll shut up about it now.

Capice? :)

To any reasonable person this post would be more acceptable than
many/most others. We have people who post about their operating
systems, cameras, and even their desk chairs. I'll skip the obvious
off-topic political posts.

It's great to see that you donate to charities close to your heart.
Just for grins, why not drop $10.00 or $20.00 so John has to match it?
I donate to the same charity every year but I would rather spend a few
dollars here to see if John can keep up with it.

Good point.

Our daughter is running in the 5/17/07 event in Columbus and we are
sponsoring her team, as we always do. We donated to John's daughter's cause
over and beyond that, modest as it may be, last year and this year. In the
end it is a worthy cause to donate to.

The other ones we contribute to without question are the Salvation Army and
our Church.

Whether or not requests for charitable contributions are acceptable to post
in a boating NG are acceptable is not my call. I brought it up last year
and was blasted for do so.

So...................it is your call. But do consider donating to the
cause.

Your suggestion is appreciated but this is not the proper forum to request
charitable donations Dan. Thanks anyway.

Your donations to John's daughters cause is certainly
impressive..............nice work!
