Volunteers: as far as I know, no one-in-NANFA (BOD members, publication
people (Chris), people that run the details of running an Internet list) gets paid
a salary and probably aren't even reimbursed for expenses. I'm also betting
many of them are putting up personal funds to do their volunteer jobs and
their families are sacrificing too. I further bet some are giving up other
opportunities to make income because they are taking care of their volunteer
commitments.
I've done stuff like that before. You can do 100 things right but the first
time you make a mistake, people start abusing you. Or people that derive
benefit from your efforts don't have time to volunteer themselves but seem to have
time to make long lists of other things the volunteers should be doing.
Folks, let us cut our volunteers some slack. They are human beings and
occasionally make mistakes or just make rulings some don't like. Some times they
just don't have the time or energy to take on yet another volunteer job.
