I just wanted to relate an experience that I just had with the guys here who keep Trad Gang up and running for the rest of us.
I have been using this site since just about back when it was first started - and was one of the guys who just did not realize that I could donate something to help keep this great site up and running. Well, back in November I decided that it was way past time to give a little bit back to help with the costs of Trad Gang - so I made the suggested $20 donation.
Now here's the important part - at the end of December I decided it was time to renew my dues with a veterinary organization that I belong to - and somehow I managed to screw up the Paypal payment and sent the fees (about 9 times the amount I donated to Trad Gang!) to the guys here!
Well, today I get a phone call from the veterinary association letting me know that I'm a month+ overdue! After tracking things down we were able to figure out what had happened.
I sent Terry & Rob a quick email explaining things - and about 10 minutes later - the money had been refunded!
Now, granted this was a honest mistake on my part - but it had to be a pain in the rear to have thought that they had this money to use for Trad gang operating costs - and then all the sudden it is no longer available. I would have been just fine with them needing some time to straighten things out with me.
This may not seem like much to some - but I gotta tell ya - past experience with trying to get money back from anybody (even when they were at fault) has shown me how much this kind of thing needs to be appreciated!
Thanks Rob & Terry!
