I just see no need to involved Joe.

Not to put too fine a point on it ... but Joe's a big reason many folks became monthly donors in the first place. His tireless effort and lead-by-example attitude toward boosting the financial support of this place have been an outstanding boon to the site for many years.

It's to his credit -- and the site's -- that he uses this opportunity to make a final plug for monthlies to re-up.

Nobody's denying one thing Joe did, especially not me. Joe is the one who announced he was stepping down. I'm just wondering why Jim didn't post this thread asking us to notify Joe, since I am almost positive I remember Jim pubicly asking Joe to destory that list.

I think you're missing the point.

Nobody minds Willa posting the thread to remind people. I for one appreciate it a lot.

The question is, why are the old records still out there? If people haven't notified BADJOE are their CC's going to be charged this month? If people have renewed on the new system and not told BADJOE why should it matter?

I appreciate his past service very much, but I was under the very clear impression that he no longer was handling this.

If not, then why hold on to them?

Not to put too fine a point on it ... but Joe's behavior in recent months, including his refusal a couple of months ago to shred the credit card records when Jim Robinson asked him publicly to do so, is one reason some people are now leery of using credit cards to donate.
