Subject: If You Got This Email, You
Haven't Made A Contribution
Yet!
If you received this particular Matronics List Email
message, its because you haven't
yet made a Contribution to support your Lists! This
is the first PBS-like
funds drive message under the new distribution
system. The new system selectively
sends out the Contribution messages ONLY to those
that forgot to whip
out the 'ol credit card this year to support the
continued operation and upgrade
of the Matronics Email Lists! Don't you wish PBS
worked that way?
You heard that right. Once you make your
Contribution, these support requests
messages during November will suddenly stop coming
to your personal email inbox!
Pardon me if I seem kind of excited about the new
feature. I've wanted to
implement something like this for a number of years
now, but it was always such
a daunting task to modify the back-end List
processing code, that I just kept
putting it off. Finally this year, I just decided
to bite the bullet and put
the code-pounding time it to make it work. A few
days later, bam! A working
system!
Anyway, I'll stop gushing now. I really do
appreciate each and every one of your
individual Contributions to support the Lists. It
is your support that enables
me to upgrade the hardware and software that are
required to run a List Site
like this. It also goes to pay for the
Commercial-Grade Internet connection
and to pay the rather huge electric bill to keep the
computer gear running
and the air conditioner powered up.
Your personal Contribution matters because when
combined with other Listers such
as yourself, it pays the bills to keep this site up
and running. I accept exactly
ZERO advertising dollars for the Matronics Lists
sites. I can't stand
the pop-up ads and all other commercialism that is
so prevalent on the Internet
these days and I particularly don't want to have it
on my Email List site.
I'm pretty sure you don't either.
If you appreciate the ad-free, grass-roots,
down-home feel of the Matronics Email
Lists, please make a Contribution today to keep it
that way!!

Subject: Clarification On New
Contribution Module Operation...
Dear Listers,
A number of Listers emailed and indicated that, even
though they had made a Contribution
this year, they still received the Contribution
message yesterday.
I looked into it and I found a slight anomaly (ok,
bug) in the new code specifically
as it related to Listers that had made their
Contribution through PayPal
AND have a DIFFERENT email address for their PayPal
account and for their Matronics
List subscription.
If your PayPal account email address is DIFFERENT
than the email address you are
subscribed to the Matronics List(s) as, then my new
code module couldn't tell
that you had made a Contribution, since it was using
the PayPal email address
instead of the List email.
I've fixed this issue for any new PayPal
Contributions, but I don't have any easy
way of resolving this for any of the previous
Contribtuions. Again, this is
ONLY an issue if your PayPal and Matronics List
email addresses ARE NOT the
same. Otherwise, everything works great.
If you made a PayPal Contribution before 11/09/06
AND your email addresses don't
match, please drop me an email at "
info(at)matronics.com " (do not reply to this
message!) and give me your Name, and both Email
Addresses and I will manually
update the records so that things will work as
advertised.
Sorry for the hassle! New code; new bugs...

Thank you!
