Thread Name: BS: Good causes, bad strategy
Subject: RE: BS: Good causes, bad strategy
9... I had a falling out with The War Amps YEARS ago. I ALWAYS donated and donated more than I "needed" to. Then, they started sending mail to me as The War AmputATIONS and not AmputEES. I wrote a letter to the head honcho and it said I was not pleased with this "marketing technique" and found it obnoxious. He called me and said it had always been called The War Amputations of Canada and that he was upset by my letter. I told him that calling me to lie to me was just inane and that he should be ashamed of his actions and to make sure I never got any more solicitations. Never did. Still pisses me off to this day.
