Donna, I know your plate is usually pretty full, and maybe you haven't been following the whole thread. To recap: This has gone from "Ooppps, heads up people, I clicked the wrong link and made a mistake w/ an on line entry" to a post I replied to from Dick Jones which said in part "it should be on Rau's dime but if they refuse the Parent Club needs to step up to the plate and deal with Rau accordingly." Deal with them for WHAT is all I'm asking? I went to their site. There aren't any errors. I looked at the premiums. Maybe the date in bigger font on the cover of the print premium would help???? But they only print what is proofed, so it isn't Rau's problem. Then Kathy Tank mentioned her entries weren't on line, that she had made a similar mistake w/ an entry (entries???) using a paper premium. OK, it can happen. Back to bigger font for the dates maybe??? Different color used for the paper???? Would it have been reasonable to foresee that folks would have gotten the Specialty before the National confused w/ the National??? 'dunno. Maybe next year we'll play it safe w/ a half sheet of paper in a different color mailed w/ the premiums advising folks to "check the dates of your entry!!!!". Or is that dumbing things down too much???? Still I'm asking, "Deal with them <Rau> for what????" No answers yet....But whatever it is, I guess it should be "accordingly". At this point, for all of the agg they've dealt w/ in the past few days I'm thinking...oh...I dunno'... flowers? Hope all is well with you too and best of luck at the National.
