Yay, the FReepathon goal has been reached despite the naysayers. :-)
According to the posted budget, the goal was reached long ago.
Truth in advertising is my concern - nothing else. Numbers should match. That was my Q. EdReform gave a somewhat detailed explanation for the past discrepancies. Kudos to EdReform, I say! Simple and painless.
If the budget is listed as less than 60K (can't recall off the top of my head) then when the fundraiser amount is higher, it would be simple and less painful to post why the amount varies upfront.
BTW, just because it's not on this thread, please don't assume Jim hasn't been pinged to my concerns.
I resent like hell when people attack someone asking questions and cast asparagus ;) on their motives.
If someone doesnt't care about their donation, that's just ducky. But some people do care, and would like to see simple questions answered, and not see other posters pile on. FWIW, I asked a Q about something in the budget a couple of quarters ago. Jim answered me and that was cool. And for those getting pissy towards the questioners - listen, if you're going to ask for money, can you really expect no one to question what for and why? So when people do, why do other posters need to get in your face (with nothing factual or informative - with the exception of EdReform).
Who knows, maybe the nastiness from the Terri threads has turned into personal styles for some posters.
