Perhaps RH is acting for himself, rather than wait for the Committee process to reach "action" stage.

Yesterday evening I sent this email to the AFA regarding problems with their website.two dogs wrote: ↑Tue Nov 28, 2023 9:34 amYes, I can find little in it to criticize, although I would have used an Oxford comma after euthanasia in the first paragraph and omitted the word actually in the fourth paragraph.Irrev-Black wrote: ↑Mon Nov 27, 2023 10:02 pm For the first time in many moons, literally, I got an AFA email.

It seems that it was sent to expired members as well as current members!
And I'm not sure why Russell didn't use (or perhaps doesn't have) an email address on the atheistfoundation.org.au domain?

Sorry, but I enjoy trolling the ineffectual AFA. Here's an email I sent a few minutes ago.two dogs wrote: ↑Thu Nov 30, 2023 4:59 pm ...

Whatever the problem was, it was rectified late this morning. Of course, I've not (yet) received a response to my email, to thank me for bringing the problem to their attention.![]()
How do I know that my email resulted in the problem being fixed? Could it be a coincidence that a post for the PressMedia Release discussed above was added their Media Releases page after me pointing out that their last Media Release was in August 2021?

The roll-over caption on that image used to be "The AFA Team", before I bitched and whinged about none of the people in it being current members of the AFA Committee of Management. Thankfully, the caption was subsequently changed "Past AFA Members".Irrev-Black wrote: ↑Sun Dec 10, 2023 5:39 pm
Is it somewhat disingenuous of the Dorito People to show this pic? So many unhappy ex-members in it.
For the record, from left to right, they are:

For the record, I wouldn't pay to be a member of this fuckin' clown show; as one of six people awarded life membership of the AFA during its 50+ years of existence, I don't have to pay for an annual membership.Dear AFA Communications,
For a change, there's little I can criticise from a proof-reading perspective, although I think there's a missing paragraph break after Hanna in the second paragraph?
Thank you for admitting that you bullshitted your members in your email three months ago, stating:
"We’re pleased to be among a number of Australian pro-secular organisations that have joined together to sponsor the staging of a one-day conference ..."
Frankly, I'm appalled that you couldn't even manage the minimum level of sponsorship of $2,500 (but telling me they wanted $15,000!), given that many of the organisations involved made significant donations to the AFA's 2011 and 2016 Census campaigns (for which the AFA then had the resources and commitment to manage on their own!).
May I ask what use you intend to make of the $169,774.48 in accumulated funds you have as of 31 January 2023, as reported in your 2023 Financial Statement?
You seem loath to spend any of it to further the organisation's aims, having spent only $5,468.87 for the 12 months ended 31 January 2023!
I acknowledge your involvement in (rather than the lead of) the 2021 Census Mark No Religion campaign, but you've done bugger all since then for your fee-paying members.
Cheers,
Julian
