How much did you raise when you did it?

  The point I was trying to make was clearly lost, as not a single person donated in the time since this was posted. Although a bunch of people clearly feel they won some moral victory by downvoting me. Bravo, HN. Just stellar. As to your... tone. I did quite a bit of volunteer work for a nonprofit for five years. I gave them, as it turned out when I did the math later, about 10% of my free time, worked with thousands of other people in that time (pretty good for an introvert). We raised around a quarter million, not counting the value of public resources and tens of thousands of volunteer hours we relied upon. I’m fine walking through the gate you just erected. How ‘bout you?

    Perhaps a call to action would be better communication then, rather than your clumsy attempt to raise awareness. You came across as condescending and critical. So well done you in your volunteer work, but perhaps work on your communication style if you were actually looking to promote donating to the cause instead of criticising someone else's achievement.
