NR - FUNDRAISING??

[elbert smith]

Normally I state that I will not post to any of these normally non 
productive discussions.

   Now I feel I have no choice.

  Point 1:(or question actually) why is it that when there is a perceived 
problem that should be brought to the attention of the local seneschal(me in 
this case)that more often than not there seems to to be a want to leave them 
of the loop and start posting things on this wonderful Toy or jumping 
straight to kingdom officers.

  I know the argument can be made that I am part of the loop because I read 
this list.

     WRONG

   If I had been made part of the loop  (by for instance someone approaching 
me first as would have been appropriate) instead of starting somewhere way 
out there and moving back toward me. A lot of this might have been handled 
locally. But instead the choice was made for whatever reason to take the 
path of using the mail list first instead.

   In the future people Please, and not just for me , but for every 
seneschal thats busting their butt trying to do their jobs the benefit
of pointing out a problem perceived or otherwise before you jump to the end 
of the line.  Maybe , just maybe they may not be as inept as so many treat 
them and given they chance first might be able to solve the problem.

Point 2: I have been told (although I already knew )that the finally 
responsibility for this decision is mine. It is a responsibility I take very 
seriously.


      So having conferred with many persons on this subject I come to the 
following decision.

       We will not be holding a drawing at NRT some other less debatable 
form of fundraising will be used.
