And so I respond....

But that makes no sense to me.  In fact, I'm more confused now than before.
I was not worried about the publication of the Arts and Sciences issue. I
know that will come to fruition in a timely manner.  That's why you are the
Kingdom Cronicler.

What I was concerned about was the WAY the funds are being fowrded to the
Office of the Black Star, since it is a seperate account than the Kingdom of
Ansteorra's.
Funds for the Black Star come from Corporate stipend, not from the Kingdom's
coffers.  Which makes me wonder why you want to do the money transfers in
such a round about way? It seems like a big headache for the Kingdom
Treasurer. Not to mention the fact that it is much more likely that some
funds will be lost in all the transfer. ( I am not questioning anyone's
ability to handle funds properly, just stating the fact that it is **more
likely** to have funds come up missing if handled in such a manner.)

By doing it the way you want, you have a *minimum* of 2 mailings and 1
transfer of funds between kingdom and corporate.  If you did it directly to
the Black Star, you have one mailing and no transfer of funds between
accounts.  

If you want to do it your way, that's fine.  That's your call.  This is why
you are the Kingdom Chronicler.  But it makes little sense to me.  It would
make more sense for people to send their checks to Milpitas rather than
Ansteorra. After all, Milpitas is corporate and so is the Black Star. Might
as well keep the funds at the same level of the corporation. It would seem to
be a less auditable item if the funds came directly to your office.

I do understand that no matter which route one chooses to send their check,
it will get to the Office of the Black Star.  I was just trying to clarify
the fact that Black Star funds should not go through the Kingdom Treasury,
since the Black Star has its own account. And to cut down on the paperwork
involved in the situation.  

And since it had already been posted as going to the Black Star via Kingdom
via the Higdons, you did not want to confuse others. Right?

By golly, I'm not as blonde as I look some days.  I must be getting brunette
in my old age.
