[pianotech] More Dues Paying Fiasco (Sigh.......)

[David Love]

I didn't say it was good use of money. This is getting really absurd. I don't even know if the numbers you're using have any basis in reality. Some redundancy is inevitable, no system is perfect. But it ain't worth getting all riled about it. Done with this conversation and I have already contributed way more than I intended.

I'm so sorry.  I stand  corrected.  It is  GOOD use of our money!  :)

Let me see if I can re-capitulate this pretzel logic:  Reminder letters are printed in advance to people who are not even in arrears yet.  Some of those people pay before the deadline (81 on the last day alone).    How much does it cost to print and mail a stack of redundant letters like that?  A hundred bucks?  Is that peanuts?  If it served a purpose I would say OK..  But in these times where we are all pulling our belts a few notches tighter, should someone feel guilty about objecting to this kind of waste?

It may well be.  If you think so, you know the fastest way to end a thread - simply stop posting to it.  With your four contributions to this thread, perpetuating new arguments, you are one of the drivers, are you not?
