JD,

I understand where you're coming from. And you can see here from the responses that some get quick replies and Feldon's took longer.

I don't see SSE as a business in terms of it's larger mission of seed preservation and the Yearbook, which is what it's all about.

I also don't think folks realize that the office staff is very small and if Joanne was busy trying to enter material into the Yearbook or setting up one of the other publications I can very well understand that she didn't get back to you.

Actually I don't know of anyone who has ever received a confirmation of membership. Honestly.

You pay your money and you're a member.

I'm sorry you feel the way you do about this, but you have to do what you think is right based on your expectations of dealing with businesses.

Again, I think few of us who are SSE members see it functioning as a traditional business as would be TGS or TT or Johnny's, etc, and again, no confirmation of membership is sent to anyone. Ever. So you were treated no differently than anyone else.
