I agree with Janie 100%. The bullying and insults that have been directed at Sorcha because of a perfectly reasonable question are an embarrassment to the Mudcat community. It's valid to donate "blindly" based on your past relationship with or impression of Max. And it's also valid to think analytically about where your donation dollars are going to go and to ask for further information. If another person's approach is not the same as yours, that's not a problem - each can do what their heart and brain lead them to do, without having any conflict. Sorcha's contributions to the Mudcat- in musical knowledge, in social support, and in the CD project - are obvious to anyone who's been paying attention. And if you had the honour to visit her home, as I did a few years go, you would see how freely and broadly she devotes her time and energy to her family and community (not to mention to her Mudcat guests), and you would put to rest any doubts you have about her generosity. I know Sorcha, and I really, really dislike seeing the bitchy remarks about her that I'm seeing in this thread (that's bitchy in both the male and female styles). Marion
