Not to put too fine a point on it, but perhaps it was Howlin's language that turns her innocent questions into flame wars. Having already witnessed the bold and absolutely untenable allegation that Badjoe is participating in some conspiracy against "Bush Supporters" by supplying private information obtained during "the last fundraiser", I saw no reason to stand for the slightest innuendo casting doubts on his integrity or the intent of this thread.
I too am hopeful that, by the end of the evening anyway, Howlin and others (who evidence very little in the way of reading comprehension as a rule) finally understood what Willa and Badjoe were trying to accomplish by posting this final heads up to the monthly donors.
Thanks for your concern, RedbloodedAmerican. Better late than never, I guess, to show your colors where the Gang's concerned.
