5. Had it here for the past several weeks several times a year

Used to be “pledge week” now it is three weeks.

What bugs me is that they had nice program like a Roy Orbison documentary which included parts that we’ve never seen, and Andrea Bocelli in Central Park but after 20 min program there would be 10 min begging. How many timed can they repeat that one will get one CD for a donation of $60 and 2 CDs for $100?

Worse, donate if you want to view these programs except they show “these programs” only during the pledge.

And BTW I do donate, responded to mail solicitation several months ago.

I agree with Wiki. They do a service we all use but don't pressure us. TreasonousBastard Dec 2021 #13
