Starting this thread is not the proper way to go about solving a problem but I don't know what else to do.  It is a last ditch effort to establish some communication with someone within POE.

A month ago, I came up with an idea for raising funds for the site.  I have presented this idea to Chris & Sarah 3 times by e-mail and have received "no" response.  Those e-mails have not been returned, so I can only assume that they got them.  I realize that they are very busy with the the site family etc. but if you didn't like the idea, how about a "no thank you" or "we'll think about it".  I felt that organizing a POE member tour, booking hotels through the site and offering POE 5% of total sales was a good idea.

If I have somehow offended someone or done something wrong, it was not intentional and I'm not aware of it.  I can't fix a problem if I don't know what the  problem is. 

Several days ago, since she is an administrator, I sent Sue H. a message through the "contact this member" link asking her to contact me in the hope that I could gain some understanding of the situation.  Again "no" response.

I know that these threads have to be approved so if I don't see this thread posted, I guess that I can only assume that, for whatever reason ???, there is a problem of some sort but no one chooses to talk to me about it.

If anyone knows what the problem is, please contact me at uktours4u@gmail.com.  I'm not angry, I just don't understand the indifference.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Cheri, I am sure that Chris and Sarah would be the first to tell you that no offence was intended. I know that they have very young children who require a lot of their time as well as jobs to hold down. They are also concerned with Anna (Sarah's mother) who had a nasty fall and is not recovering as quickly or easily as they had hoped. I can only guess that they receive so many emails that it's very possible yours just slipped through the cracks.

Your idea does seem like a good one, though I would have no idea how to implement it. That would of course be Chris and Sarah's decision.

I wouldn't take the "seeming" indifference to heart. I am sure once they've seen this post some one will be in touch.

Thanks Diana.  Very sorry to hear about Anna's mother.  Her condition, of course, comes first over answering e-mails.

Ron;  If I was being pushy, I'm sorry.  It was not my intent and I do understand about all the pressure Chris & Sarah are under.  Family and jobs "always" come first.  To answer your question, "Yes", it was my intent to handle all of the details myself and make it happen for the site.  I put the idea (minus the commission for POE) out there last fall and got "no" response from members so all I can do is develop an itinerary, make the plans, put it out there and hope it sells.  If you would like to talk about what I had in mind, please contact me at my e-mail address.

Sorry about this thread.  I guess I need to be more patient.

Ron;

I'm so sorry that I misunderstood what Diana said.  I will keep Anna in my prayers.

I will look forward to hearing from you to explain my idea and can assure you that I "can" handle the details myself.  I've been doing my own tours for 6 years now and have been in the travel industry for over 15.  I'll do whatever I can to help keep this wonderful site alive.  Looking forward to hearing from you.
