I pretty much agree with him on this one. I generally end up going negative then paying it because I was always taught growing up to pay my bills "as they came in," not keep a balance ahead of time. As a member since 2003, I've never really liked the idea of balances and shares but this is how our coop is run and my sole opinion doesn't hold a lot of clout. I've already been told on other issues that I should leave the coop if I don't like the changes being made, but it is not my desire to do so. Certain conversations about certain issues, I've received responses and replies from a board member that made me feel, "I don't care what you think and it doesn't matter whether you like it or not. If you don't, leave, we won't care." Makes me feel welcome.
I digress. Now, my understanding is policy is changing in such a way that if I don't keep this larger balance, if I go under this for a month or two, I can have my account frozen with seemingly with no warning because I'm supposed to "know" what my balance is ahead of time. I'm not okay with that. I rarely get on my computer, I rarely check the portal or my balance and the only time I realize it's low is when I receive an "your balance is low" email. I have other, more important things to think about. It's easier for me to get low balance warnings and make a payment than all of the sudden my stuff stops working. Perhaps there could be an option in the portal to have an email sent to you every month when there has been a withdrawal from your balance, how much, and your remaining balance. To be honest I rarely think about how much money is in my hcoop account until it's low. I'm sure the majority disagree with me on what I've said but I'm including my thoughts in this discussion. By the way, my balance, all of the sudden, is negative. I have to choose between gas in my car for a week or webhosting for a month. Makes sense, right? I'm glad we were notified before this took place. - JTS _______________________________________________ HCoop-Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.hcoop.net/listinfo/hcoop-discuss
