I don't check the group very often, and read maybe 3 emails out of 50, so i probably skipped over your first one
I think your methods for motivation are not thought out... Here is what you did: 1. insulted an entire country 2. insulted the videobloggers in that country 3. insulted the yahoo group they are members of 4. claim that all members of the group are only concerned with materialistic matters you need to re-think your methodology... I worry that your desire to help charity is equal to your desire to earn hits to popularize your site... I think there are plenty of people interested in helping charitable causes but the way to get them involved is not to insult them because they didn't respond to your one email On 2/17/07, Paul Knight <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Please, please, please, just read the e-mail, that's all you need to > do, please try to be completely un american about this and at least > give me some help on this, I don't ask for much, just that you read > the f'ing e-mail.
