The Whip Basics Dog Shelter Campaign 2019 (Page 1 of 4)

This is splendid, Robby! 

I shall certainly donate a whip from my collection - but I'm not yet sure which one....

Andrew, the only qualification for a whip donation, besides no super short ones, is your best effort if you are making one. That's all.

Collin, the draw will happen at Robby's 'Meet & Greet' in early September, and the prizes are sent off more or less straight away after that - so any time up until then should be okay.

Collin, I'll be very interested to see what you come up with! 

Please donate friends and family, in Euro, to whipbasicsdogshelter@gmail.com

No it's not Robby.
The same people seem to be the only ones to post every day more or less.

It might be time for some more pruning.

I mentioned posting information in this thread in a roll call, directing people to it as well as recapping the rules and why we donate in euro, due to losing almost 30$ in dog money due to transfer fees.  I think everyone has seen it and understand. 

That is true. And sad. What puzzles me all the time, is the fact that there are folks who are members, post, become a real part of the community and - gone. But... A few month later they contact me - for example Ryan Fitts - appologize that they vanished and ask me to reactivate their account. I do it and a few weeks later...gone again.

Is there anyone who can explain this to me? Anyone...

It seems to become more and more difficult to find good people who like to join WB. You have no idea how much funny bunnies tried to become a part of Whip Basics over the last few month. The low member count is not a matter of people not wanting to join; no Sir. It's a matter of that grumpy old gate keeper who expects at least a "Hello" at the beginning of an email.

Believe it or not. 6 oder 7 out of 10 emails look like this:

I want to join WB.
Here is my picture.

No kidding. That is it. No name - I can read the name from the email header - so why should someone write it? A friendly "Dear Mr. Amper", or "Dear Robby". Nothing. Even not a simple "Hello". There was a black guy who did exactly that. Not a "Hi" and no "Bye" or anything else. I answered him very detailled and veeeery polite and told him in the end that I - we - are nit interested in people, who are not able to follow the most simple rules of basic behavior and respect. He answered me and called me a racist. I told him that I don't give a dime if he's black, yellow or green. It's about manners. Not skin color.

Whip Basics is a very, very small place. And I'm afraid, it will become even smaller.
