Ok.

I'm going to say this. I've been really aggrivated with your organization
lately.

The purpose of a deadline is that you can send in the stuff at any time
before the deadline. It is still before the deadline. Theoretically, all
forms/money recieved before the deadline are equal.

 I won't be made to feel bad because I have followed the schedule set for me.
I didn't NEED to have it in yet. It will be there. It's already in the mail.
I didn't realize I had to notify you about when I go to the post office.

 I've had a member with connections to the AGA constantly asking me about
sending my stuff in. I recieved a PM saying URGENT and that "the aga is looking
for you." That, to me, is borderline harrassment. If you wanted the stuff in
right away - it is your fault (please realize this is the general 'you' and not
you specifically) for not setting the deadline earlier. You cannot get
aggrivated for people adhering to the deadline you set. I would have been 
perfectly
okay with having to pay that day, or to send the forms in before being allowed
to upload my pictures.

 This is 10 measely dollars we are talking about - a fee which some people
dont' even have to pay because it "inconveniences" them. I don't need the
collection agency constantly asking me - especially before the due date has even
passed!

I've already told tsunami carlos about this and if you' d like to know more
of how I feel, feel free to ask him.

Further, I don't know how it appropriate it is to specificy names in a group
email. IE, I did not need to know that gomer hasn't paid yet. That's his
personal business. He didn't need to know that I hadn't. That's my business.

PS. I'm a really nice person and don't usually come off so rude and
hotheaded, but I've really had it with this. I am sorry.
