The "mess" appears to be made by those that have a grievance with NC receiving some money, initially from donations and now by a large auction taking place.

The current high bidder in the auction is from a someone whose child went through, and died, of the same. They will get my sig for a month. It costs me nothing to donate my sig for a month. The high bidder and eventual winner has their reasons. The money goes to help NC. The high bidder gets good sig placement and a good feel-good factor. Everyone wins. Nobody loses.

There are clearly noses that have been put out of joint by this, particularly the auction. Those noses shouldn't have been stuck in there in the first place.
That's the mess to which I refer....the noses out of joint.

A kid is sick. A concerned father asks for help. People decide to donate.

Father learns there is another alternative.

Requests donations stop.

People decide to give or not give. Or use sig to help auction or whatever.

Seems pretty simple to me.

Yet, thread after thread concerning this topic....continues.
