(((( Everyone ))))

This thread is not about who contributes what.

Again, I will say that I posted it because there are people here who have met the criteria to join the private forum but DID NOT KNOW about it.

I had PM's from people that read about the fundraiser and the "reminder" that if they gave money, they could join. They knew nothing about it and asked me to explain.

I realized that there were probably more members, some old, some new, that had no idea it existed or what it was.

I made this thread suggesting that this info be made available so that people who were curious understood.

This was discussed in May of '06 when it was first put into place and there were a lot of hurt feelings then. I regret that it has happened again.

But, I just thought if there was a thread about it explaining what it was, it would make it feel less "secretive."

I'm sure it was not the intent of admin to keep it quiet, more like an oversight.
