If enough of youse guys want to send me $25 each, I'll buy a magnolia
grandiflora, plant it in the front yard, take a photo, and post it so you
can all see what you bought. Since I live right by Chesapeake Bay, you can
deal direct with me, avoid the middle man, and help prevent the next
Herring fundraising scam.

No credit, carbon or otherwise. Cash only. American.


Yeah but...you would be 'cheating' poor John out of his 80% cut of all
monies raised.
Fund raising is quite the profitable enterprise. If I was smart, instead of
razzing John, I'd be asking his advice on how I can get in on this sweet
deal.

That's not fair and you know it.

Lay off the charity thing - you are a much better person than that.

It was only a matter of time.

And it will get worse.
Al Gore won't like you for exposing this sort of thing. Watch CNN Headline
News on May 2nd at 7:00 pm.

For $25 you can get a tree planted in Harry's name by the Chesapeake Bay.
Now *that* is worthwhile carbon offsettlement!
If you get enough participants will it be named the "Harry Krause Rec.Boats
Forest?"

The Harry Krause Carbon Credit National Forest for Homeless Indigent
Critters. :)

And you can spend them on eBay!

BTW, my kitchenette cabinets are supposed to be delivered tomorrow. I
expect to see all of you with your hand tools sometime next week. I've
got my supervisor's hardhat all polished.

It's a low blow...but...
what if every poster in here continually came in harassing individuals by
name asking for donations to two or three of their favourite charities?
We all have one or two worthy causes that are special to us individually.

It's one thing to gently promote a charity, and it's quite another to
bring it up over and over and over and over.

During the holiday season, I suggest folks make a contribution to the
Salvation Army or something similar. I might mention that once or twice
here, not several times in every post every day...

Herring is obnoxious about his fund-raising.

He is also quite ****y to those who make a contribution. It is certainly
the last time I will donate to his daughter's team.

Then you have folks like Al Gore buying credits from companies he has
a financial stake in. Carbon credits are kind of like selling a kidney
in my opinion. Basically what these folks are saying is: "Since you
can't afford to live a decent lifestyle anyway, we will buy some of
your lifestyle from you and then you will at least have some feel good
money". It is really immoral, as well as a scam.

I thought he was in your KF? That really is the better way for folks
who annoy you.

True enough, but the greater fact is that he matched the funds, asked
those who could to participate.

It's not the way I would approach it, but I'm not going to beat him up
for it - it's an issue close to him and that should be sufficient
reason.
