Today's "Ax to Grind"   

    Some of you Onliners have expressed some concerns as to how/why I participate as I do within Forum/Boards -  and perhaps even with regard to my Email interaction methods.

     Since beginning www.bcidot.org in September 1999, in our desire to primarily provide Ministries/Onliners with self help resources, we have produced over 600 web page documents in furtherance of our purpose as expressed in detail when you click here.  Please go to  xxxx-xx  for a category break down of these web pages.  Also click on Sitemap for another view of such resources.

    No way are these the consummate answers to all issues, but I have had to deal with a number of finance and accounting matters during almost 50 years in serving Churches, Schools, Mission Organizations and like groups as a volunteer or both as a Ministry staff member and then later as a CPA-Auditor.  You will find more bio info when you  Click Here.

    Suffice is to say, most of the Onliner's issues are not all together new to me and I have already had to deal with many of them.  So I now use the Internet and attempt to articulate my view on that topic in writing and then pray that the self help materials that I place at Forums or within Emails are helpful and "scratches where you Onliners itch."

    Accordingly, you will find that when I participate,  I have placed as a centerpiece,  one or more web pages that looks something like:  http://www.bcidot.org/xxx/xxxx.xx.html.  Please access/digest this centerpiece in order for you to best relate to the topic.  Many of you prefer to read the content direct on the Forum/Board and not have to click to link content or attachments, but I am convinced that this effort can best meet your needs as you read the centerpiece web pages entirely and then do any linking from there.  Of course, every issue has its own special "flavor" and I attempt to personalize each response accordingly.  But most of the time the basic response is "linked" to one or more  xxxx-xx  web pages and we go from there.  I trust the "linking" that I do is to the point and not over done.  Yes --  you can get side-tracked from your original intent if you try to read all of the link contents, so first read the centerpiece web pages in their entirety and then come back later and do more link reading as you feel necessary.

    I know that some Email and Forums/Boards systems do not "hyper-link" very easily;  or you have to "copy and paste" the full  http://www.bcidot.org/xxx/xxxx.xx.html  link to your browser in order for you to best use such tools.  It seems that virtually all Email systems, and more and more Forums/Boards, now allow you to efficiently "hyper-link" when you simply click on the highlighted link, etc.

    In no way am I attempting to burden you with excessive  xxxx-xx  "stuff", but rather to assist you to make your own decision, within context, since there are times that the issue, in my view,  warrants more expressed perspective than what you see initially.

    Of course, your feedback at  Jim@bcidot.org is always welcome.  I covet your continued interest and prayers for effective communication.
