RE: UKNM: sites and the environment

[Leslie Bunder]

Personally I don't like the idea that you have to register friends and then

you get an e-mail to see who has registered and who has not.


I guess, we all have limited spare time thes days so there are various

reasons why people will bother or not bother to support a cause. And of

course, not everyone can support or be involved with everything. So it is

rather unfair to check up on your friends to see what they are supporting.


Personally, I like to keep my personal donations and charity support

personal.  I don't need the whole world to know what i support or who I give

to. Charity and supporting causes is not and should not be about ego!
