      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="4" color="#0000FF"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;My selection from the above list is #4.&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="4" color="#0000FF"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;My reasoning is the following:&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="4" color="#0000FF"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;If you are a member of an organization that you have voluntarily joined, you are not there to serve the organization necessarily, you are there to have the organization serve you in some manner or purpose. &lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="4" color="#0000FF"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;A church or it's Minister will provide you guidance or a union will represent you in negotiations with the company. So for a Minister or a Union representative, to get your message and ignore you is rude, impolite, and discourteous. &lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="4" color="#0000FF"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;After all, it is your fees, dues, or whatever that supports the organization these "administrators" work for so they should address your concerns about their organization in a timely manner.&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
