[NEohioPAL] Donation Reconsideration

[Bowers, John]

I have found our NEO-PAL site to be quite helpful throughout the years.  I have been in three shows directly from NEO-PAL posting and got a pair of Zebra Finches for our home.  Was I disappointed when I tried to repost about a high school musical twice within one week and got shot down?  Yes I was.  Especially when I had read at least ten times about a famous barbershop quartet appearing in Independence.

That being said, I appreciate the service Fred provides and still made my donation this year.  Search your heart and make your decision from there.

Respectively,

John Bowers

By the way, Vicki, with respect to the posts for pet placements and items for sale, Fred lets them through at his discretion. I'm sure, if NEO-PAL started to get too far afield of its mission, Fred would redirect those who post.

If you don't like the way NEO-PAL is managed, I can't think of any reason you couldn't launch your own listserve.

Hi All,

It seems strange that we still allow a few people to dictate our lives for us.  I was all set to donate to NeOhioPal when my tax refund came in, but I now pause and am reconsidering this.  The reason for it, is I've been informed that one of my favorite posts to look at will no longer be available because someone decided to complain that this person exceeded his number of weekly posts.  Now it's not like this person is posting all kinds of nonsense, etc. and he doesn't over step, in my opinion, so this has taken me by surprise and given me cause to ponder.  Especially when there are posts about homes for cats and things to sell, and so on - which I don't mind - I have a delete key just like everyone else.  However, I'd like to know how things get addressed when someone complains; no one seems to check with the rest of us as to whether we agree with the complainer or how it was addressed.

So ~
I am now faced with the decision to donate either to a quality run, fabulously informative and massively helpful tool of the arts......

Or

Will I just be donating to a mass e-mailing system that is catering to a bunch of WHINERS?


I'll apologize for my ire, but this decision really came close to my heart and I am caught off guard by it.

Sincerely,

Vicki Fritzman
