TWO WEEKS of FUTILITY
Another sad story of a Member without a home.
After struggling to gain entry to the new website, I began to read stories of others having difficulty(ies.)
In a couple of cases, e-mails have been exchanged offering suggestions as to how another Member
might bypass the restrictions unfairly imposed upon a true Member.
All attempts were futile.
Additionally, one member had communicated with a board member who had promised to help.
This promise will be two weeks old tomorrow.
Thus far... NOTHING has been done.
A two week old promise that proved to be TOO WEAK!
Obviously, this has been extremely frustrating. This Member has been a frequent poster in the Forum
and has always (IMO) contributed interesting and insightful comments and has also been very supportive
of our organization.
It was very difficult not to make this known but there was a concern for embarrassing the Member.
He has now asked for help and will not care if his identity becomes known. Others are already aware of this matter.
The biggest concern is WHY a board member would promise help and never communicate again
with a Member-in-good-standing?
It is indicative of the seemingly entire lack of concern demonstrated in matters such as this and, as previously noted, other things particulalrly related to the Forum and the trashing of years of valued documents.
So, we ask again:
Why are certain of our Members not supported by those obligated to do so?
Why are there so many unanswered questions concerning the problems caused by this website?
Why is information that concerns the entire Membership be kept in such secrecy by a few?
Why can't the operation of our organization be completely open and without mystery?
More to follow...

Today's message to this member referenced above is the same as others he had received.
(It was also the first message I ever saw here during my first two attempts to "register.")
