Dear Daundra, I am really sorry anything like this does happen and I'm sure the organization itself is very upset about it that one of their representatives feels that way. But like I was reminded a year ago that this is not the place to drag anyone through the mud and this seems to be a personel issue between you and the organization. I hope with this we can all move on... it is too bad that we all have to belong to four or more list because all these list are on different pages and they should be working together. Daundra, good luck dealing with your problems with this organization and if you have more problem emails contact your webmaster.
