McGrath: Yes, this is a wealthy (and generous) country, but raising $300,000 is not as easy as it might sound. First, as others have pointed out, the organization itself must be worthy of being saved. Second, if it got the membership into this situation because of a blunder, few people are willing to contribute to a cause to save it due to it's own stupidity. And as others have pointed out, folk musicians, as generous and as thoughtful as they might be, few would have $1,000 to spare for this cause, I believe.

I'm in full agreement with Dicho and Bill D. Since I have no stake in this, I'll have no more to say. I will follow the situation, however, because I will be interested to see how it plays out.

If I were a betting man, I would wager that the majority of the GUEST posts, McGrath, came from one person, particularly those that were what I consider to be rude. Further, it would not surprise me to find that you are right McGrath, and that GUEST has no interest in the subject other than to stir the pot.
