While we support the cure for breast cancer and we donate to the cause
annually I do not believe this is the place to ask for donations.

To put it in perspective: My wife has a severe neurological
condition (the cause has yet to be found) condition in her leg and I
could begin to ask for donations to help find the cause. There are
several members here with serious medical conditions, or have family
members with the same. I have yet to see requests here for donations
to their cause. We all have non profit organizations we
support......should we begin to ask for donations to those causes
here, a boating NG? A slippery slope.

I wish John's daughter well and have contributed to her Race for the
Cure group in the past. I am not insensitive to her condition or the
pain she (and her family) are suffering.

That said, the constant posts regarding a specific cause and the
constant begging for contributions to it are over the edge considering
that this is a boating NG, not a fund raising one.

While posting my opinion on this subject I hope I did not offend
anyone with this post or appear to be insensitive, especially
considering the fact that my wife and I generously donate to our
Church and organizations we support (while refraining from requesting
donations to those organizations here).

Still a nasty little prick, huh? Go back to Chucks. Not one single
person missed you and Harry.

Loogie,
you do no the reason he made that comment was to get a rise out of you.
If you ignore him, he will be bored and move on.
