Well,
truth be told, 6 or 8 of us did get accidently booted while Karen was
gone.
I
think the proper avenue is still the AERC office. If you wrote to them and
they replied that the official results reported by the ride manager for New
Cuyama show Karen as not starting and then you verified with the Ride Manager
that those results are corect as he sees them, then you have a beef. Until
then, all you have is a paperwork error.
I work
in a very paperwork intensive business and I'll tell you right up front that the
intentional deceit to fumble fingers on the keyboard ratio is about 1 to 500, if
not higher. I constantly marvel that clients can call me, positive that
their employer is engaged in a conspiracy with the plan recordkkeeper to deny
them the money that is rightfully theirs. Usually, they haven't read the
damn instructions and are making mountains out of molehills. And generally, the
clients that start with this attitude get laughed at, alot. Those that
call with a reasonable question to the proper person get courteous and complete
answers. I have found the same to be true with the AERC
office.
So,
have you asked the right people the proper question? Until you have
facts, you don't HAVE an issue. Come back with facts and we'll listen with
open minds.

Karen
answered your questions a month ago and btw have you
called the Duck
with your questions yet? No, you just want to make
trouble here.
Yes, she answered my questions by calling
me names and booting me off of "her" list (which I know she's denying -- that
too is someone else's fault). Yes, actually I did try to contact the RM,
I e-mailed him. Haven't heard back yet, but I know he was busy at the
most recent ride so that is understandable. I can see that Mt. Carmel
will be fixed since it would be pretty hard to avoid doing that at this
point. What about New Cuyama? Those results are official and they
don't show Karen as starting. I haven't heard an answer to that one
yet.
It would definitely have been much easier and more peaceful not to
bring up this issue. Sorry if you are
offended.
