Was it really necessary to take a swipe at the people who expressed their
thoughts about your frequent sales in the context of the rather serious
situation you describe below and your wonderful acts of kindness to help the
family you describe?

Would it not have been better to take the high road and just thank the
people who purchased items from you and let them know that the money went
for a good cause?

I purchased an item from you, so as you say, I helped out that family. But
I also expressed my thoughts about the frequent sales in a very constructive
way.

So I guess I am the recipient of both your comments - your thanks for my
buying something from you, and your "I don't give a "___" what you think for
my thoughts.

Well you know, the next time I see one of your sales, I think I will pass
and make a donation to the American Cancer Society. In fact, perhaps you
can tell the list members how to make a donation to the family directly, or
to a charity that can get the money to them.

So I am very happy that the money from your sales went to a good cause -
some of my money included.

But as one of your customers, I am really offended by your remarks.
