Can someone please address this? (Please?)

[Cthulhu's Librarian]

So, is there a thread there? I did a search, but didn't find one.

No, I just suggested that Dinkledog start one. I'm just an outside doner who is waiting to send his books on to people. I have nothing to do with the organization of this, I'm just making suggestions.

I agree with not posting emails, but a list of names would be fine. People could look at the list and see if there is anyone they know who may not read the site regularly, and have them post or contact you.

The names can't be posted, as he's said he doesn't have them... just the E-mails.

 

[Dinkeldog]

none of the e-mails I have been given came with screen names.

Cthulhu's Librarian asked for the screen names, so I gave them to him. I can send you the screen names for yours, Crothian, if you'd like.

I'm confused. Are you not getting responses from prize donors, server drive donors or both? I'm a server donor who has not received an email since PCat's way back when and my email address has not changed.

I'm guessing there's a database behind the scenes here and somewhere in it is a mapping of email addresses and screen names. Can someone import the spreadsheet with the emails into a temp table. Then via some magic table joins, you should be able to get a list of screen names (and email addresses) for the donors. You can then take that list of screen names and post it in general to try and get some responses (you can also then extract to another spreadsheet so that you now have emails and screen names together). I know this won't help for people who have changed their email in their profile but it might be a start.

(I may have some books/adventures I can donate to the prize lot as well).

Several prize donors came through awesomely, some came through saying they were done with the project, others had already been distributed.

I have two spreadsheets, one with e-mails of money donors and one with e-mails of prize donors.

I have tried to stay away from this thread, but have to make one comment....

I told you so

Months ago there were a few of us who tried to start a discussion on this topic, and even offered our assistance and we were told things would be finished when the people volunteering had time.

What can I say? I did the best I could and devoted possibly more time to it than I should have so far (a professor who decided that she was going to become my mortal enemy this semester didn't help any). I'm trying to figure out how to get to the end-game at last.

I've gotten some addresses to you, and a couple people haven't responded at all.

Finals are finally over, so as my birthday present to myself I'm going to figure out today what to do with what's left.

I know, I'm not upset with you at all. I've done my part, and if I can do more, I will. Just let me know, I've still got some more books I can donate.

Just to clarify my statements.

You tried to help solve a bad situation that was not of your making.

For that I thank you.

The big issue is that you should have never been put into that position.

And what really ticks me off is that there were offers of assistance for months that were never even replied to, and at this point the distribution will never be finished as it was originally promised (in page one of the original thread) due to a number of reasons.

So once again thank you for your efforts, and good luck in school.

Merry Christmas

Its not needed. I got them all mailed out and everyone responded to the e-mail I sent them telling them it was mailed out.
